BuffaloButt Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 With our TE injury situation seems like we might need some recieving TE help at least until Kroft and others get healthy. Duke has the size of a TE and skillset of a WR so it might be a good fit. He had a good game against the second team unit tonight vs Carolina but in all likelihood he won't make our team as a WR. I personally liked what I saw from him and thought he was one of our backup TE's when he caught that TD. I hope we can keep his size and skillset that he brings to our team that we might be missing without him on the roster. Go Bills!
Aussie Joe Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 I think I’ll just wait for the injured TE’s to come back .. 1
Doc Brown Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 There's no way he can learn the TE position and be an effective starter at the position in one month. 3
Alphadawg7 Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 He’s a WR and should keep competing there, he had himself a game today and has been making some impressive catches in practice. He’s starting to come on IMO, and I think he made the WR competition interesting tonight. 5 1
Madbillsfan Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 It sounded even stupider when it was suggested by a caller on One Bills Live.

MJS Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Why would a 6'2", 220 pound WR make a good TE? Bills list him at 6'3", but he's really 6'2". He's simply not big enough to be a TE. 1
Boca BIlls Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 I saw him whiff a block that ended up getting tackled for a loss. So no... 1
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 I think he should do whatever the CFL asks him to. 2
Big Gun Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 5 hours ago, MJS said: He's not that big. I see him listed as 6'2" 215 lb, why do people keep thinking he is this huge guy, like Kelvin Benjamin huge,(6'5" 245 lb), he's not close. TE are enormous and KB would have to put on 15-20 lbs to be a TE. Duke is a little bigger than average for a WR but tiny for a TE.
The Bills Blog Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Who is Duke William and what possession of his should become a TE? It's a foolish idea. He's trying to learn the NFL game as a wide receiver. There's literally no way he could change positions and become better than our existing TEs within a couple weeks. C'mon, man. Unfortunately, he'll be cut. Edited August 17, 2019 by The Bills Blog

Just a guess, but the rest of the WR group have been dubbed the Smurfs by no less than the Head Coach. What we saw on the TD catch is what we all -Team and fanbase alike- tantalizingly envisioned when we signed him. He simply hasn’t shown enough in a WR group begging for anyone to step up and make a name for themselves. Word out of Bills camp is he isn’t a good ‘practice player’, but shows up in games. That’s a dichotomy that doesn’t have a faithful following in pro sports <cue Allen Iverson>. I suspect the OP is just trying to find some way to get our tallest, strongest Receiver a way to make the team. Coach called him out/‘encouraged’ him this week and he appeared to respond. Final cutdown is 2weeks away. Sadly, I’m not liking his chances. 1

StHustle Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 It was good to see him out there with Barkley. WRs playing exclusively with Tyree cant show there true potential. 1
