‘I’m just a big fan of Harris. He runs hard — he led the FBS in forced missed tackles last season — and adds value as a pass-catcher. He will make better the team that drafts him. Buffalo doesn’t have many clear needs, but it has to create better balance on offense to take some of the pressure off quarterback Josh Allen. Harris is an every-down back who can share the load. Offensive line and wide receiver are two more positions that the Bills could target.’

Bills Re-Sign `Gadget’ Receiver/Returner Isaiah McKenzie
‘The 25-year-old established a niche in coordinator Brian Daboll’s creative offensive scheme last season in being used as a situational fourth receiver. He finished with a career-high 30 catches and 282 yards, and scored three times (two TDs receiving and one on a 84-yard punt return) in a season-ending 56-26 win over Miami.’

‘Last season, McKenzie was used on several jet sweeps (which were actually counted as receptions because they were tossed in front of Josh Allen), and a reliable target in the passing game overall, finishing with 30 catches for 282 yards and five touchdowns. Those numbers accounted for the best season of his career in each category.’

‘The receiver recorded 30 catches for 282 yards and produced five touchdowns in 2020. It wasn’t just receiving touchdowns for the dangerous offensive weapon as he returned an 84-yard punt for a touchdown in Week 17 against the Dolphins. Against Arizona, McKenzie threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to quarterback Josh Allen.’

‘The Bills have established themselves as a legitimate championship contender, so we liked the move to keep Matt Milano — a member of the team’s defensive core — on a long-term deal. On offense, Buffalo opted to let John Brown head to Vegas in favor of Emmanuel Sanders, an underrated talent who slots in nicely with Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley to form a rock-solid wide receiver room. The signing of former No. 2 overall pick Mitch Trubisky represents an upgrade over Matt Barkley at backup QB. Of course, if Trubisky plays meaningful snaps in 2021, you’ll know something went terribly wrong.’

He’s got some experience. There’s some skill, there’s some talent. Just win you a game that’s meaningful.”’

‘“I think talking to my agent, it just seemed like the best situation when it came to culture,” Hollister said Monday on a video news conference after signing a one-year contract with the Bills last week. “Just the type of building that you want to be in. I kind of experienced that, honestly, when I was here playing this year with Seattle. Kind of realized that playing throughout, just that the players were really close, the coaches were really close with the players. It just seemed like a great place to be.”’

‘“I’d love to see the faces of these people if we can bring a championship to Buffalo,” Sanders said last Friday in his introductory Zoom press conference. “If I can accomplish that it would be amazing. It’s one of my dreams now. To do that alongside Cole, that would be amazing.”’
