Minicamp Observations: Kaiir Elam shows ball skills as Bills close shop for spring

‘The 23rd overall pick in the draft made the defensive play of the day with an uncontested pickoff down the left sideline during 11-on-11 work. There was some kind of miscommunication between Josh Allen and his receiver (either Gabriel Davis or Jamison Crowder; we couldn’t tell), who broke off his route instead of going deep.’

Buffalo Bills minicamp Day 2 observations: Kaiir Elam picks off Josh Allen

‘Allen had another strong day of practice, spreading the ball around to some of his old friends. The play of the day came when Allen let one rip down the right sideline to Stefon Diggs, who found himself one-on-one against cornerback Cam Lewis. Diggs got instant separation, blazed a trail into open space, and Allen delivered a perfect pass to the All Pro pass catcher.’

Von Miller says Josh Allen is ‘huge reason’ he joined Bills, says Tom Brady ‘might be threatened’ by QB

‘”All the great quarterbacks, they just have this … aura about them, this energy about them, that they’re able to lead grown men. And Josh is one of those guys, he does it in his own way,” the 33-year-old Miller said. “I’ve been around Peyton Manning, Matthew Stafford, and all of these great quarterbacks, and Josh is a great quarterback, too, and the sky’s the limit for him. Huge reason why I came here, I’m a huge believer in Josh Allen and what we’re doing with the Bills, and I wanted to be a part of it.”‘

Opinion: Elam, Austin, Cook shine as Bills wrap up minicamp

‘Wide receiver Tavon Austin made a very good impression in a short amount of time since signing with the club a couple weeks ago. He, once again, moved well, ran good routes, and showed great hands, both in individual drills and connecting with the quarterbacks in the team portion of 7-on-7 and 11-on-11.’

Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox: “I’ve just scratched the surface”

‘”I think it’s important to have confidence and go out to do what you want to do. But at the same time, you don’t ever want to feel comfortable or complacent. So it’s all about building on it and just taking another step too,” Knox said. “I don’t feel like I’ve hit the pinnacle of my game. I feel like I’ve just scratched the surface. So I’m ready to take another step.”‘

‘“Those guys were just so open on teaching everything they had in their toolbox whether it was their signature move or different counters that they work on. And just being able to see them work and to see them talk about the details of everything they do within their pass rush,” Epenesa said on Wednesday after practice.’

Knox focused on football, not future

‘“I don’t think it’s any different than any other year,” Knox said on Wednesday. “If you start thinking too much about stuff like that it’s going to distract you from how you play on the field, so it’s just the same old year and same old thing.”’

Von Miller opens up opportunities for rest of Bills defensive line

‘”I will play on the other side, you all go over there and block him, I will go on the other side. It will be good not only for me but the defense as a whole. He is a big time player so they will key in on him and it will take attention off me. It will help me,” Oliver said.’

Buffalo Bills fans help Dawson Knox raise money for Boys and Girls Club

‘He and other tight ends around the National Football League have teamed up with Boys and Girls Clubs of America and Bridgestone for an online fundraiser that’s also a bit of a competition. The tight end who raises the most money for their hometown club will get an extra $50,000 for the local organization. The one with the most individual donations will earn another $50,000 for them.’
