‘“Just for your example, we have Josh Allen in our division,” McDaniel said. “You better have good corners. You think that way. You have to be ready and prepared to deal with those (star players). But you’re also motivated by just creating your best team against all opponents, all structures of offense and defense to be the best version of yourself.”’

‘Addison is slightly undersized at 5-11, 173 pounds, but the Bills believe in their strength and conditioning program, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if they felt like they could help him add size while not sacrificing the short-area quickness that’s key to getting open in the NFL. Addison isn’t strictly slot receiver, having the versatility to play inside and outside. That’s something the Bills value. Addison did not run well at the combine. His time of 4.49 seconds in the 40-yard dash might very well hurt his draft stock, but that could end up being a benefit to the Bills. Beane has always said the bulk of his scouting process comes from game tape, and Addison delivered in that regard. He was a first-team All-Pac 12 Conference pick after finishing with 59 catches for 875 yards and eight touchdowns in 2022, despite missing three games because of injury. Jeremiah has him ranked as the No. 9 prospect in the entire class. It’s not hard to envision Addison contributing in three-receiver sets very early in his Bills career.’

‘Klein played six games for the Bills last season, with one start, in his second stint with Buffalo. He entered the league with the Carolina Panthers, who took him in the fifth round of the 2013 draft. There, he overlapped with Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott, who would eventually bring him to Buffalo in 2020.’

‘“I am honored to have the opportunity to address the 2023 graduates at Oklahoma State University,” Kellington said in a news release. “To have the chance to return to my alma mater, where I sat many years ago, and to share my personal and professional journey, is absolutely amazing.’

‘The benefits of inclusive and diverse contracting, both in the construction and operation of developments near the stadium, will be felt across our community. So, if a hotel, entertainment complex or other development is built on current public land to take advantage of the economic opportunities of a new stadium, it makes sense that the benefits from that development, jobs, vendor opportunities, contractor hiring and revenues should be felt across the region, too.’
