Chase Claypool - WR

I might get laughed out of job here with this take, but I am hopeful that Chase Claypool becomes the receiver we saw during his first two seasons with the Steelers. In those two years, he had over 120 receptions, more than 1,700 yards, and 11 touchdowns. If that is the type of production the Bills get out of him, they will have the steal of the free agency period.

I know there are concerns about whether his heart is in the game, and focused on his career, or more concerned with off-field stuff. From all reports we've heard, he's been one of the most consistent receivers in OTAs and minicamp, but they also haven't put on the pads yet. There is little debating his talent level. He might be the most physically gifted and talented on the roster, but he still needs to prove that he is ready to focus on his NFL career and his teammates. If Claypool can pull it all together in 2024, look for him to take off in the Bills offense.
