Torrence has won the starting right guard job to begin the season, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

The second-round rookie has earned the role over veteran Ryan Bates, among others, which is not a bad feat for a first-year player. Torrence was as dependable as they come as a lineman for Florida, but his initial competition will bump to a whole new level when the Bills take on the defensively fierce Jets in a Week 1 primetime matchup.
