Wide Receiver: Sammy Watkins, Steve Johnson

The Bills wide receivers on this list include one high draft pick and one late-round pick. First, the premium draft pick — Sammy Watkins. Taken fourth overall out of Clemson in 2014, Watkins was never able to live up to his draft status — or the insane price Buffalo paid to move up for him.

Still, he had a two-year stretch to start his career out with a bang, which is why he makes this list. As a rookie, Watkins had 65 receptions for 982 yards and six touchdowns. Sadly, that was the only season he was fully healthy for the Bills.

In his second season, he played 13 games and had 60 receptions for 1,047 yards and nine touchdowns. In all, he had 153 catches for 2,459 yards (16.1 per catch) and 17 touchdowns in three seasons before being traded to the Rams.

Steve Johnson, on the other hand, was taken in the seventh round out of Kentucky in 2008 and shattered expectations. After two seasons of minimal production, he exploded in 2010 with 82 receptions for 1,073 yards and 10 touchdowns. It was the first of three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and he ended up with 28 touchdowns in his Buffalo career as well.

Tight End: Charles Clay

Charles Clay was more of an H-Back to start his career with the Miami Dolphins but became a full-time tight end with the Bills when he signed a five-year $38 million contract in 2015.

He played four of those seasons and had 178 receptions for 1,822 yards and nine touchdowns. He played in some lean years for Buffalo but was always there to make a few spectacular plays when they needed it.
