Would have been a great weapon for Allen , hopefully Knox can do that for us. Hockenson is in a class by himself. He is going to be an impacting player right out of the gate. If Knox eventually develops into a solid player he should be considered a good pick. It is unreasonable and unfair to compare Knox to Hockenson. Each player is in a different strata with Knox in a lower strata looking up to Hockenson in the highest strata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When watching this game this rookie in a preseason game immediately stood out. His performance was eye popping. At least it was for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recommendation to those who fall in that category is trust your eyes. Even Stevie Wonder can see the difference in talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach55 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Another notable block on that run was Duke Williams. I know it doesn’t look like much, but he completely took the corner out of the play - who would be responsible to come up on a sweep like that. Duke is making a very strong case for himself.

Nice to see from Knox. Although Hockensen will likely be a great TE in this league, I hope we will always think of him as one of the 8 players that helped Ed Oliver fall into our lap.

TigerJ Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Both Knox and Sweeney are decent blockers. I know the Bills gave Lee Smith a chunk of money in his signing bonus, but he's kind of extraneous right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
