Keynote Speaker: Jordan Poyer

Get ready, Bills fans — this year’s Portraits of Hope 2026 is bringing even more excitement to Rochester!

We’re thrilled to share that our keynote speaker this year Buffalo Bills Safety Jordan Poyer! Poyer is a stalwart on defense for the Buffalo Bills, becoming a fan favorite during two different stints with the team. During that first stint, Poyer became a first-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl selection. He also helped the Bills to six postseason appearances. 

This event, presented in an engaging coffee talk–style conversation, will offer a unique, behind-the-scenes look at leadership, resilience, and the power of hope — themes that perfectly reflect the mission of Villa of Hope.
