For the first time in a long time, Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott discussed all-things Bills on Thursday.
The 2020 NFL Draft is in the books and general manager Brandon Beane touched on a lot of those topics. McDermott did as well, but we also haven’t heard from the coach since free agency, either. So he certainly touched on a wide-range of topics with all that has happened since then.
With that, here are 10 takeaways from McDermott’s post-draft conference call/ presser:
Welcoming Diggs
This week was the first time McDermott chatted with the media since the draft, and since his team got hold of wide receiver Stefon Diggs. So how does he feel about the new No. 1 wide receiver on his roster? McDermott, like general manager Brandon Beane, let’s the tape do the talking.
“At the end of the day, I think when you look at the production that Stefon has experienced over the course of his career, that speaks for itself, right? He’s had big roles in games and then we’ve faced him at least once during the regular season in the most recent past here,” McDermott said. “He’s certainly been awfully good to this point. It’s an opportunity for him to continue to grow. It’s an opportunity for us to get a good football player that will help us win.”
