Sunday was a day to remember for many. That applies to the likes of Khalil Shakir and Kaiir Elam the most.
Shakir, a fifth-round rookie, and Elam, Buffalo top draft pick in 2022, both hard firsts in the Buffalo Bills’ 38-3 rout of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The receiver, his first touchdown.
The defensive back, his first interception.
It’s always great for everyone to see players have such things happen. Teammates included, maybe even more so.
The Bills sideline knew how much it meant to both players when those things happened. They too worked their whole lives to get where they were… and in many cases, felt exactly the same way when it happened for them.
During the contest, we saw both Shakir and Elam’s reactions on the field. But a video has surfaced which showed teammates celebrating with both players.
Check out that clips of Shakir and Elam celebrating their big plays below via WROC-TV:
One of my favorite things yesterday was watching rookies get congrats for 1st TD/INT.
Shakir getting love from everyone. Even trainers.
Then a long convo with Isaiah McKenzie.
Tre White jumping on Elam like a little kid.
Defensive vets waiting for Cook.
Very cool.#Billsmafia pic.twitter.com/iYRqEw6Xax— Thad Brown (@thadbrown7) October 10, 2022
