‘“I don’t like to make excuses, but I mean, leading up to that day I was in the low 4.3s the whole time,” Stevenson said Friday after the Bills held their first practice of rookie minicamp. “I would say the weather kind of affected it, but I ran a 4.4 so I so have to live with it. I know my football skills and I know how fast I am on the field, for sure.”’

Damar Hamlin, one of the Bills’ sixth-round picks, has a clear path to a roster spot

Bills rookie minicamp 2021: Gregory Rousseau, Boogie Basham get opportunity A.J. Epenesa didn’t (5 observations)
‘Just being out on the field, able to work with coaches, is a huge advantage for Rousseau and Basham just 12 months removed from the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. Rookie camp, OTA’s (Organized Team Activities) and mandatory minicamp were all cancelled last year, stunting the early development of Epenesa in 2020. The former Iowa pass rusher, who the Bills selected in the 2nd round of last year’s draft, showed signs of improvement as last season went along. But it’s easy to see in hindsight how he was impacted by the loss of all the reps that happen in the offseason program.’

Opinion: Would you take…?
‘Seasons like 2020 – 13-3 and the AFC Championship Game – are not to be taken for granted, and they’re not easily repeatable. Every fan would take the same regular season for them (ok, 14-3, or 13-4, or whatever). Those are about the best records in the league every year. So, no point in asking you if you’d take a repeat performance. But what would you take?’

It’s pretty exciting to have somebody play the same position as you and come in with you like same rookie class, so that’s going to be pretty dope.”‘
