Tight Ends (3)

Dawson Knox, Jacob Hollister, Reggie Gilliam

Since the Buffalo Bills have four running backs and six wide receivers, they had to cut down on other positions. I believe the tight end is going to be one of those positions as I think only three tight ends make the 53-man roster.

The top of the depth chart will be Dawson Knox and Jacob Hollister and they will likely compete for the starting tight end job during training camp. However, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them both play a good amount during the regular season, especially when the Bills run 12 personnel.

As for Reggie Gilliam, he is a player that is still learning the position but did some good things as a rookie. He showed enough to warrant being that third tight end and it certainly helps that he was a key player on special teams last year.
