As the new voice of the Bills, Chris Brown will have lots to say. Just not about Chris Brown
‘“This goes back to the way my parents raised me. You never brag about yourself. … You let your actions speak for themselves,” he said. “It rings in my head a lot, to the point where my wife sometimes says to me, ‘Can you just please market yourself? Just a little.’”’
Following father, Gore Jr. earns PS spot with Bills
‘And if and when it does, he’ll be just the latest in a long string of fathers and sons to play for the same franchise in pro sports (and even more playing in the same league). No, it’s not quite Ken Griffey Jr. and Sr. playing on the same Seattle Mariners team (or even LeBron James and Bronny on the Lakers), but both Gores are now part of the same franchise’s history. Over in Pittsburgh, the Steelers drafted Joey Porter Jr. last year. Marcus Foligno followed his father, Mike’s, footsteps as a Buffalo Sabre.’

‘”Jake Kumerow against the Denver Broncos to clinch the division in 2020,” Allen said. “The COVID year. They played a little cover four. They pushed the safety but he didn’t move in time. I kind of looked him to the right, and Jake Kumerow is just running right down the seam and I threw that ball as hard as I can. It just stayed on a rope and as Jake looked around, the ball kind of caught him. But I threw that ball the hardest I think I’ve ever thrown a football in my life.”‘
Josh Allen recalls taking a helmet to the scrotum against the Patriots
‘“Two years ago against the Patriots,” Allen said. “I think it was one of the McCourty twins – helmet straight in between the legs. Yeah, that one felt good… I felt like Ricky Bobby – ‘yup, I’m in the air. This is not good.’”’

Even Bills GM Brandon Beane is captivated by Joe Andreessen: 'How can you not cheer for him?'
‘“Joe, man, where do you start? Buffalo Joe. What a story,” Beane said. “The guy just shows up, doesn’t say a word. There’s a saying sometimes: ‘Don’t count your reps, make every rep you get count.’ I would say Joe was that.”’

Buffalo Bills rookie is rushing to escape a raw deal in life: How 5 strangers helped
‘For 24-year-old Buffalo Bills rookie running back Ray Davis, he’s already had a lifetime worth of monumental days that span every emotion and have shaped his implausible journey from being homeless on the streets of San Francisco as a child, through earning a college degree from prestigious Vanderbilt University, to hearing his name called in the fourth round of the NFL Draft, to learning this week that he had made the Bills’ final 53-man roster.’
