Buffalo Bills: 5 offensive players who could break out in 2023
By Brandon Ray
4.) Damien Harris - Running Back
Damien Harris comes to Buffalo having spent the last four seasons with the division rival New England Patriots. One of Damien Harris’ highlights in his career took place on a cold Monday night game in 2021 when Harris ripped off a 64 yard rushing touchdown that ultimately helped the Patriots defeat the Bills.
That was the same year that Harris played like a top running back in the league and showed how dangerous he can be on the ground. Coming off a down year from injury last season, Harris is on a prove-it deal with the Bills. With the Bills having a running back committee of Harris, James Cook and Latavius Murray, it’s hard to say that Harris will be the main back for the Bills.
Although, getting a player from a rival team will help in the long run. Harris more than likely will not be a top five back in the league, but if Harris can get back to his 2021 version (202 carries for 929 yards and 15 touchdowns), the Buffalo Bills running game will be efficient and not so Josh Allen-reliant.
