Buffalo Bills: Predicting the WR depth chart entering training camp
By Aaron Tully
WR7: Marquez Stevenson
The Buffalo Bills selected Marquez Stevenson in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He has blazing speed, posting a 4.45 40-yard dash time at his second pro day.
Stevenson played just five games for the Houston Cougars in 2020, catching just 20 passes for 307 yards and four touchdowns.
He would likely have to beat out Isaiah McKenzie or Isaiah Hodgins to make the roster. Stevenson will likely be a member of the practice squad in 2021 but will get his opportunity to beat out Hodgins or McKenzie during training camp.
WR8: Jake Kumerow
Jake Kumerow was brought in by the Bills in 2020 and caught just a single pass in six games. That one catch was a 22-yard touchdown on a dime from Josh Allen.
One pass is certainly not enough to keep Kumerow on the right side of the roster bubble on cut day, but he could be a member of the practice squad.
WR9: Brandon Powell
Brandon Powell was signed as a free agent by the Bills in the offseason. He has caught just 23 passes in his career for 198 yards and two touchdowns. Powell may make the practice squad, but will probably not make any noise in training camp.
WR10: Duke Williams
Duke Williams has spent the majority of the 2019 and 2020 seasons on the Bills practice squad. He has played in just five games over the last two years, catching 12 passes for 166 yards and a score.
Williams did get to play in the Bills’ 2019 Wild Card game, where he caught four passes for 49 yards. Not so long ago Bills fans were clamoring for Williams to be on the 53-man roster, now it is unlikely he will even make the practice squad.
WR11: Tanner Gentry
Tanner Gentry last played an NFL game in 2017 with the Bears. Over the course of that season, Gentry played in four games, where he caught three passes for 35 yards. Gentry and Josh Allen have the University of Wyoming connection, but that is just about all that Gentry has going for him.
dark. Next. Which moves helped the Bills rise out of mediocrity?
WR12: Lance Lenoir
Lance Lenior also last played in 2018. He played in seven games. Unlike Gentry however, he failed to register a single catch in any of his eight career games. Lenior is likely just a camp body.
