Buffalo Bills Draft Target: Isaiah Likely

Isaiah Likely out of Coastal Carolina is another tight end the Buffalo Bills took a closer look at and had him in for a Top 30 visit, according to Jordan Schultz.

He is another tight end that has great athleticism and can be a player that puts pressure on defenses in the passing game. While he didn’t face great defenses in the Sun Belt Conference, his production should not be overlooked with an impressive 27 touchdowns over four seasons. This past year was by far his best with 59 receptions, 912 receiving yards, and 12 touchdowns.

While Likely can contribute as a passer, the biggest question mark is how he might do as a run blocker. The Bills are not a run-heavy team and in the past have had a tight end specifically for blocking, so his struggles may not be as big of a concern but this is an area of growth for Likely.
