Post-minicamp, the Buffalo Bills found themselves with more depth at certain positions than maybe they even thought. Depth players or players who haven’t even played a down in a Bills uniform yet surpassed the team's expectations, and now they find themselves with more depth across the board.
Players like cornerbacks Te’Cory Couch and Daequan Hardy, tight end Zach Davidson, and wide receiver Tyrell Shavers made a name for themselves this spring as they’re fighting for roster spots. Could they push some veterans out of Buffalo? Only time will tell, and we likely won’t find out until the pads come on next month.
There may be even more battles come training camp than fans, media, or the team thought there would be just one month ago. If you’re able to get tickets for training camp, you’ll have an up-close view of many fun battles to watch. There’s always a chance a veteran player gets beat out, and if that’s the case this summer with the Bills, the team could look to ship one or two off for added draft picks. We saw that last year when the Bills traded Boogie Basham to the New York Giants for a late-round pick, and that may happen again one year later.
Who that one, or two, Bills players will be is up for debate. And any Bills fan you ask will most likely tell you a different player. However, in this article, let’s examine two players who may not make it to Week 1 in a Bills uniform.
