‘I’m not anti or pro-vax, I’m pro-choice’: Bills’ Beasley addresses vaccine criticism on first day of camp

With that being said, the issue at hand is — information is being withheld from players in order for a player to be swayed in a direction he may not be comfortable with.

‘Fans are excited about Buffalo’s season prospects but also worried about how deep the intrasquad schism might be regarding vaccination for coronavirus. On the anti-vaxxer side is wide receiver Cole Beasley, one of the NFL’s most outspoken critics and, to a lesser extent, guard Jon Feliciano. The pro vaccine crew is led by All-Pro wideout Stefon Diggs and defensive end Jerry Hughes.

A lot riding on defensive line growth as Bills enter training camp. Here is the to-do list
‘“The thing with guys who are tall – and Greg will find this out – is playing with the appropriate pad leverage when you are in that 6-foot-6, 6-7 range,” Washington said. “At that size, it’s a tremendous asset, but the low man wins in pro football, especially on the line of scrimmage.
