Curtis Samuel has a head start on some of the other new receivers on the Buffalo Bills’ roster.
After a bunch of turnover this offseason, Khalil Shakir is the only wideout on the Bills who has caught a pass from quarterback Josh Allen in a regular-season game. So why does Samuel have a potential upper hand? Because of offensive coordinator Joe Brady.
Brady and Samuel previously shared a stop together with the Carolina Panthers. The OC doesn’t need to see what the seven-year veteran brings to the table; he knows.
“The more Curtis Samuels on your football team, the better,” Brady said via video conference.
Admittedly, things have changed since then, Samuel said. He sees positives in that, though.
“Joe is smooth. Not going to lie, when you see him nowadays, he look like he got some swag to him,” Samuel said, comparing Brady to before. “It’s good seeing it.”
And of course, coming to a team with Allen as his quarterback was appealing for Samuel, who signed a three-year deal this offseason.
“It’s amazing coming here and playing with a guy like that,” Samuel said. “He’s special, he’s a good dude from day one.”
