Additions of John Brown and Cole Beasley paying early dividends

One of the other reasons Josh Allen has looked good this training camp is because of the new weapons that he has at his disposal. The Buffalo Bills didn’t make a big splash at wide receiver, although they certainly tried with an Antonio Brown trade, but found pieces that should be very productive.

The additions of John Brown, who has the speed to stretch the field, and Cole Beasley, who is one of the better slot receivers in the game, gives this passing game legitimate pass catchers for Allen.

Brown in particular has been impressive this training camp and caught two long passes from Allen in one of the first practices that made people take notice.

The Josh Allen to John Brown connection has to be at the top of things that Bills’ fans are most excited to see in game action for 2019.
