Dawson Knox trained with George Kittle in offseason


Recommended Posts

Is it me, or do the Bills do more training with other teams' players now than they ever did?  Not sure if this is something that's always been commonplace,  but I don't recall hearing as much about it in past years.

 

Personally, I love it.

To me, this is the "culture" that has always been preached (and panned by some).  It's not that you need choir boys...you need guys who live for football and have the competitive drive to be the best.

Knox is going to be the last piece to the puzzle for this offense. The three wideouts and running backs are going to be good, we know that. Knox has the speed and power to be a game changer from the TE position. Love that he worked with Kittle. Kittle has that dog in him to compete for everything. That’s what it will take for Knox to match his physical talents.

I was just telling my wife the same thing last week. I too love it!

interesting observation.

 

My take, and this is probably just drinking the kool aid, is McBeane goes after players that actually love playing football and it’s a passion not a job.
 

So even in the off-season they just can’t get enough. 
 

I certainly don’t make PowerPoints and have conference calls when I’m on vacation ?

I think it's a logical theory.  Right out of the gate, Josh formed a tight bond with Darnold.  That bothered a lot of people (here), but I've thought it was awesome from day one.

 

I think, in addition to the passion for the game that you pointed out, it's also a sign of maturity.

Jason Croom for George Kittle straight up. Imagine him and Knox together. That's what dreams are made of

Why don't we trade Tyler Kroft for a pair of first round picks while we're at it.

There was a Buffalo Bills TV special on in Rochester last night and they mentioned we never had a TE make the Pro Bowl - I thought over the years one would have made it (names come back like Reuben Gant, Jay Riemersma, Pete Metzelaars,...) but they say this year Knox could be the first one to make it. Love it!

absolutely, just because you’re friends with someone, doesn’t mean you don’t want to beat them in a competitive game Early and often! And vice versa.

Players have always trained with players from University/College they went to or home town but we hear about it more for there are so many more ways to hear about it including social media by the player.  University of Miami always had a bunch of players training together but we heard about it more for they also partied together and got in trouble.

Seems like every aspiring tight and would want to work out with George Kittle. How does that work? Do you have to apply and be accepted?

All ya gotta do is work on your hands and your in...

Agree totally. I think the FO seeks out the kind of guys that have that "will to win" gene.
