New Josh: He offered encouragement and pointers to receivers of all experience levels. Not that he didn’t do it before, but the uptick in his vocal engagement was clear. This is a dude who is making no assumptions about a route, shift or motion.’

If I was gonna use rated, I would say underrated before I say overrated. And I know I’m biased, he’s our guy and we love him every single day. These things that come out, I know that people love the rankings of whoever but when you don’t put your name to it and you make comments like that, like who is this executive? Executive is a loose term.”’

Buffalo Bills camp to sort out revamped WR group: Who will step up?
‘“So anyway, that’s how I see it, honestly. We don’t really know what we have, but we know what we have. And it’s interesting to see that they’re a very diverse group.

Jets’ Aaron Rodgers admits what Buffalo Bills fans have been saying for years

‘“If you saw me throwing it after (practice) with Mack Hollins, I can’t throw the ball high enough,” Allen said. “Even if I get him jumping, it’s still not where they want it. I gotta keep getting it as high as possible and creating as much separation as I can against those DBs and utilize their height and their tools to go up and catch a ball.
