Finally some size
Maybe Beane really was sick of hearing McDermott call his receivers smurfs like he joked about after the draft. But more seriously, he finally realized that size probably matters, or would help. In Davis and Hodgins, the Bills wideout room is now stocked full of it.
It’s needed for the obvious. It helps in the red zone and it’s good to have a guy that can go up and get the ball.
The top-three in 2020 will be Stefon Diggs, John Brown and Cole Beasley. Davis is the frontrunner for a spot in there and then the rest is a roll of the dice. Hodgins will likely have to help on special teams, but having said that he’ll have a big fight there, too. Isaiah McKenzie, Duke Williams and Robert Foster will be in the battle for a spot. In recent years the Bills have kept five receivers out of training camp, typically. So there’s many bodies for likely one spot. Could size make a difference?
