‘”Every team I’ve been on, they’re gonna be like, ‘Who’s the weirdest guy?’ And they’re gonna say, ‘Mack,'” Hollins admitted to Buffalo Plus, before reviewing some of his unconventional practices, including going barefoot as often as possible, eating without utensils, and avoiding house cats at all costs.’

‘Money talks everywhere, especially in the NFL. And this was a calculated relatively hefty expenditure. It hinted at what Buffalo thinks of him. The Bills had ample connections to Samuel from afar, as he was selected at No. 40 overall in 2017 by the Panthers when, coincidently, Beane was Carolina’s assistant GM. In 2021, Samuel joined Ron Rivera in Washington. Of course, Beane and Bills head coach Sean McDermott worked alongside Rivera with the Panthers.’

‘”There are idiots everywhere. It’s frustrating,” Beane said at Bills camp this week, via NYUp.com. “You try to ignore this stuff. Josh is going into Year 7 and there’s still the naysayers. I don’t get it.”‘

‘Coleman hijacked his own introductory press conference to pontificate on the art of buying winter apparel, while also revealing that he ate at Waffle House so much, that he had his cook’s number pinned in his messages. The talented pass-catcher officially signed his rookie contract last month, but the process actually confused him.’

‘Allen has declared Kyle Allen the “vibe guy.” Undrafted out of Houston in 2018, Allen has made starts for the Houston Texans, Washington Commanders and Carolina Panthers. He actually spent the 2023 season with Josh and the Bills, but didn’t attempt a pass. Now, he’s attempting to make a roster in Pittsburgh.’

‘”Everybody is counting us out, which I’m cool with. We can fly underneath that radar and hit everybody with uppercuts. I’m perfectly fine with it, but I’m gonna support those guys from a distance. It’s definitely different, and I’m still adjusting to it. I’m trying to answer it, but I’m just adjusting to it every day, because it is different, man. It really is.”‘

‘”That’s got to be the worst place you can be in the world,” he said. “And the Buffalo wings ain’t even good. I’m throwing all types of shots at Buffalo.”‘

‘”He’s a legit golfer,” Coleman said of Allen. “I’m like, yeah, I ain’t golfing with you. We can’t bond over that. We’ve got to go throw rocks at the lake or something.”‘

‘”Not at all,” Coleman said, when asked if he feels added pressure to replace his predecessors. “All I gotta do is come in, be myself, be who I’m supposed to be … Because I’m not Gabe, I’m not Stef, I’m just Keon. We got a lot of other guys that definitely complement my game … along with [quarterback] Josh [Allen], to make things work.”‘

‘”My biggest individual goal is just getting back to playing my style of football,” he said, via Sports Illustrated. “It’s crazy how you get injured, and you come back, and you really shouldn’t have even been playing, and people judge you by a product on the field. I could have easily sat out all of last season, but I couldn’t do my teammates like that. I felt like being later in my career, I didn’t want to sacrifice any of my years. But at the same time, I shouldn’t have been out there.”‘

‘”Last year was last year. It was kind of [one of] those, and it’s what you expect, it’s first year off of an ACL. It’s an uphill climb,” McDermott said. “Now we’re into the second year off of the injury, excited to see what he can do, how he’s moving, and how he’s going to impact our team. I think that, quite honestly, you never count a player or person like Von Miller out.”‘

‘Other than Diggs, no pass-catcher has received more than 19.3% of the targets in a given season, according to Tru Media. Kincaid’s 16.7% target share last season was the fourth-highest of any secondary Bills target during that time, behind only Cole Beasley in 2020 and 2021, and Gabe Davis in 2022. Davis also left Buffalo this offseason, so there are an absolute ton of targets up for grabs. The Bills almost have to spread them around, as there is no Diggs-esque, All-Pro type of talent on hand.’

‘”We’ve seen the success and growth of the draft in other markets,” Bills CEO Pete Guelli told the Buffalo News. “[The NFL Draft] is the kind of [opportunity] we’re going to pursue as an organization, and we think the city of Buffalo would be absolutely perfect for this type of event. Our plan would be to express interest, and it’s competitive — there are no guarantees it will work out, but we want to go down that road.”‘

‘Steveson wrestled at the University of Minnesota, where he was a two-time winner of the Dan Hodge Trophy — college wrestling’s equivalent of the Heisman Trophy. He won the gold in freestyle wrestling at the 2020 Summer Olympics, then returned to Minnesota, where he was named Big Ten Athlete of the Year in 2022 and won two national championships and three Big Ten titles during his career.’

‘”[Brady] tells us all the time ‘everybody eats,'” wide receiver Khalil Shakir said (via the team’s official website).’
