The 2020 Senior Bowl is getting underway this week in Mobile, Alabama. Practices started on Tuesday but one name was a late scratch of sorts, receiver Brandon Aiyuk.
Despite not taking the field due to injury, Aiyuk still traveled to the practices to meet with potential teams. According to a league source, the Bills were among those teams to meet with Aiyuk.
The potential first-round pick told the Denver Post his injury was “minor” and something he had been dealing with during the season.
“If the Senior Bowl was next week, I would have been fine,” Aiyuk said.
Earlier this week, Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane said via the Buffalo News that Aiyuk’s injury wouldn’t knock his stock in their eyes.
“There’s nothing you can do about an injury, but it won’t knock him or anything like that,” Beane said. “His fall tape says what he can do physically.”
At Arizona State, Aiyuk had 1,192 receiving yards, which ranked second in the Pac 12, on 65 catches. The deep ball threat averaged 18.3 yards per reception and added eight scores.
While not overly tall in stature at 6-foot-1, Aiyuk measured an 81-inch wingspan.
