‘“I’ve got to match that level of intensity,” Shakir told The Buffalo News. “And if I don’t, they’re going to call me out for it. So it’s definitely a room that I love being in. It’s an exciting room that every single day I wake up, I’m happy I get to go in there and just learn from those guys.”’

Von Miller hosts first Von’s Vision Reveal Day in Buffalo
‘“This is the biggest turnout we’ve ever had,” Miller said. “Some kids don’t even know that they need glasses. … To even out the playing field in the classroom for these kids, especially getting ready to go back to school, is huge. I feel super blessed, and I feel super excited for the kids.’
Bills Mailbag: Opinions on the Wall of Fame, Josh Allen, the OL and Tom Brady
‘If you let McKenzie in, would this open the door to more guys at other positions who don’t have Pro Bowl credentials? Maybe a bunch. How many other Bills linemen would need to get in? Almost none. Guard Ruben Brown is a lock. I love tackle Will Wolford, and I think he was a slightly better player than McKenzie. Wolford made two Pro Bowls for Buffalo. But he played 102 games (seven seasons), well short of McKenzie. I think Wolford falls just short of the Wall of Fame. It should be hard to make it. It’s a close call on McKenzie, who was inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame in 2016. He’s one of the most mobile pulling guards the Bills ever had. I’m on the fence.’

Saturday, Miller presented these children with their brand-new glasses that they picked out back in May.’
