So far at Bills training camp, we’ve had a different vibe.

OK, considering the COVID-19 pandemic still ongoing in the United States, the differences from what we’re accustom to is pretty evident. However, we’ve seen a media side effect from this. There’s no in-depth reporting coming out of training camp. Where are guys lining up? What’s the depth chart? Who could be on the roster bubble? We don’t know.

However, the Bills did have a scrimmage on Thursday. From that, a little bit of content was released by the team. There was video of two Josh Allen touchdown passes, along with a photo collage posted to the team’s website. We’re certainly not going to get much information out of them, but why not try anyway? Let’s dig a little deeper… or at least as deep as we can.

We’ll start by showing the touchdown passes here:

Allen to Roberts: 

Allen to Singletary: 

And now some position-by-position notes:

Receivers

  • Not really much digging here, but Roberts catches this pass. Yes, he’s an All-Pro returner, but the Bills entered the offseason very deep at wide receiver, so Roberts was not a lock to make the team. More recently, he’s starting to look like one and playing receiver with the starters is a good sign (Stefon Diggs missed practice). WROC-TV reported following the scrimmage that Roberts had three catches on this touchdown drive as well, so he was out there quite a bit.
  • The second video, OK… Singletary catches the touchdown, we knew he was their starter. Singletary is also coming out of the backfield on Roberts’ TD catch. In the same light as Singletary, Cole Beasley and John Brown pop up in the backgrounds of both videos and we also know those guys are starters, so no changes there.
  • Also spotted, Tyler Kroft in the background. He’s expected to be the Bills’ No. 2 tight end behind Dawson Know, so him out there with the starters fits but it’s still worth noting. No surprise depth guys jumping over him for the final roster just yet.
  • The most fun note: We’ve heard a lot about rookie Gabriel Davis so far in camp, but we finally have a visual sighting of him with the first-team offense. When Singletary scores, Davis throws his arms up to cheer. He could be a sneaky pick for a guy that’s going to get involved with the starters this season.
