David Njoku

Another tight end who could be on the move during the 2021 NFL Draft is former first round pick David Njoku. He is a player that hasn’t had the same success as Zach Ertz but at only 24 years old he could still have some of his best football ahead of him.

He had a good season in 2018 when he had 56 receptions, 639 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns. However, he suffered a wrist injury that cut his 2019 season short and then this past offseason the Browns added Austin Hooper in free agency and then selected Harrison Bryant in the fourth round.

This limited Njoku’s role this past season and he finished with only 19 receptions, 213 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns. Now that he is entering the final year of his rookie contract, the Browns may be looking to move Njoku as they are unlikely to re-sign him next offseason.

As for the reason the Bills should be interested is it is a low-risk move that could pay major dividends. It can be a fresh start for Njoku and he can compete for the starting job with Dawson Knox and Jacob Hollister.
