Buffalo Bills cornerback Kaiir Elam will receive some first-team reps as the team commences its 2024 training camp.
If you haven’t yet purchased any Kaiir Elam stock, now may be your last opportunity before the price skyrockets.
He’s evolved into an oft-debated figure amongst the Buffalo faithful throughout his short professional career; he’s shown flashes of brilliance in limited duty , but he’s also gotten in his own way at times, with his aggression and penchant for taking inopportune penalties preventing him from gaining the full trust of his coaching staff.
Most would agree that it’s too early to write the 2022 first-round pick off entirely, but given the full scope of what he’s showcased, it’s entirely fair to question his long-term feasibility as a starting option in Western New York. Elam appears to be in the midst of re-writing the narrative, however;. Bills head coach Sean McDermott took notice of the defensive back’s strong offseason play, and he plans to reward Elam with first-team reps at the start of the team’s 2024 training camp..
“Again, I think our environment usually helps players with that, in that belief and confidence. We have to continue to instill that as coaches in him, and then he’ll do the rest. He’ll be out there at times running with the first group, at times with the second group, and we’ll mix it and give him opportunities to really develop here.”
It’s an encouraging development for Elam, who is perhaps entering a ‘make-or-break’ year; Buffalo’s brass will have to make a decision on the former first-round pick’s fifth-year option after the 2024 campaign. He has a tough task ahead of him in usurping one of Rasul Douglas or Christian Benford on the depth chart, but the fact that he’s being given the opportunity at all is a promising sign.
