26TrapDraw Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 I'm rooting for the kid. He has all the measurables but more importantly a QB that can and will throw it.

He is gonna get his shot I'm right with you,I think Kerley is the sleeper in the large group.....i'm expecting him to be out next Woods,who was sorely missed last year.

He was on the roster for the last 4 or 5 games last season and didnt see the field. Im not 100% certain but I’m pretty sure Reilly was inactive for those games so unable to play... maybe it was to keep him from being snatched off the PS

LABILLBACKER Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 all I know is if this kid doesn't get a decent opportunity to help the Bills, it will be a real shame. 5 hours ago, John from Riverside said: Yes he is getting cut omfg As crazy as that sounds...yes it might actually be true The bills have not been aggressive in the WR market at all....Kerley probably the biggest addition (and by the looks of things is setting into that slot wr position quite nicely) Reilly looks like a outside receiver to me.....he is big strong catches everything....ran a 4.42 so he had speed. He is gonna get his shot I can still remember some ridiculous catches he made last preseason on some poorly thrown balls. Then he went down with the concussion. They gotta give him a shot.

I am not sure he will though. He was on the roster for the last 4 or 5 games last season and didnt see the field. Article on him. Might be paywall. Brief excerpt: Reilly, who is 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds, returned to Lincoln for part of the offseason and worked with former Nebraska receivers coach Keith Williams, who regularly trains a group of NFL receivers. “His best football’s ahead of him,” Williams told the Lincoln Journal-Star. “I told him, ‘Bro, they won’t be able to guard you.’ He’s big, fast, quick, smart and strong, and he can catch. Plus, he isn’t an idiot. When he comes to practice, he gets to work. He’s focused.” http://buffalonews.com/2018/05/07/bills-receiver-brandon-reilly-i-like-my-chances-im-confident/ Given the premium on WR in the league, combined with the fact that many of them play in a simplified offense - I think it's possible that Beane may be trying to establish a "Linebacker U" type model where they pick up WR as late rounders/UDFA and try to stash them on PS or inactive for a year, to learn the game. Then see what you've got their 2nd year, keep the best, cut the rest, rinse and repeat. 1

richardb1952 Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 Rewatching his highlights, he appears to have very good hands, fights to make the contestable catch, and finds a way to get open. He looks more like a TE on the field. He had a real good preseason game against the Ravens last year except for the game ending fumble at the end. Did not see much of the high end speed but that might have been the Nebraska QBs tendency to under throw the longer ball. I like the kid and think he and Streeter have a real good chance of making this roster and that both could be pleasant surprises this year. I also don't see anything special with Holmes who seems to be a somewhat expensive ST player. It will be interesting to see if they give Rielly and Streeter opportunities on ST this preseason. Versatility is a must for WR 4, 5, 6.
