Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane had some icy comments on his new-look receiving corps.
“Our receiver room is like Baskin-Robbins, we’ve got a lot of flavors," Beane said. "We’ve got some size guys in Keon , Claypool, Tyrell Shavers that was here on our practice squad last year. As far as complementary pieces, you’ve got a big X in Keon, you’ve got Shakir, who, probably position one is slot, but can play outside. Samuel, you can play him outside and hand him the ball out of the backfield.
Buffalo's receiving corps has felt largely shallow over the past few seasons, deploying largely samey receivers barring Gabriel Davis. Now the Bills' receiving corps has evolved into a more well-rounded unit. While they are lacking in high-level talent after losing Stefon Diggs, they have found more balance and versatility. They've also added youth, replacing veterans with ascending young players both returning and new to the roster in the likes of Coleman, Shakir, and Shavers.
To put a cap, or a cone, rather, on the conversation, Beane spoke about the team's tight end group, saying that both Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid figure to factor heavily into the team's passing attack.“The other thing people are just looking at is the people that line up in the wide receiver room, but our tight ends, they can catch the ball too," Beane said. "Those guys are heavily involved in the passing game with Dawson and Dalton Kincaid. Don’t forget those guys.
That is a not subtle comparison to one of the best tight ends in the league in Travis Kelce, and by the looks of it, Beane believes that Kincaid will be the focal point of this new-look Bills offense. Kincaid has all the talent to be that focal point and in his rookie year, we saw the potential production of the young tight end. He had 73 catches, 673 yards, and two touchdowns, which is an impressive outing as a rookie.
Sam LaPorta and Dalton Kincaid will end the 2024 season 1st and 2nd overall in NFL History for the most combined receptions by a TE in their first two seasons.So what flavor of Baskin-Robins ice cream is rookie receiver Keon Coleman? Bubblegum? Cookie Dough? Impossible to say because it’s an insane question? Yeah, we’ll go with that answer.
