ESPN NFL Insider Dan Graziano did his training camp rounds this summer.
Visiting just about every team in the league at some point, the Buffalo Bills made his list as one of the first stops.
After concluding his cross-country tour, Graziano revealed one under-the-surface thing he learned at each stop. Following a stay in Orchard Park, Graziano’s analysis insists that Devin Singletary might be back.
In his “don’t be surprised” thoughts on the Bills, Graziano explained that Singletary should have a bounce-back year.
Here’s how he came to that conclusion:
Don’t be surprised if … Devin Singletary is the Bills’ lead running back ahead of Zack Moss.
What I’m hearing: The Bills say conditioning was the main reason Singletary didn’t follow up on his promising rookie year with a strong 2020. They say the lack of a true offseason program last year affected some players more than others, and Singletary was one of them. He’s in better shape now and has had a strong camp.
They still like Moss, a third-round pick last year, and will use him. But if last year’s split morphs into something that tilts a little more toward Singletary, don’t be surprised.
What conclusion ESPN is drawing is essentially that the Bills might have their hot hand. All throughout the summer, Buffalo’s coaching staff has said the offense will feed whichever running back is playing well.
As referenced, Moss will still have a role. That is likely one near the goal line. However, Singletary could be the workhorse throughout the rest of the field and in the passing game.
Bare minimum, choosing between Singletary and Moss could turn out to be a good problem for the Bills to have.
