Connor McGovern is 'going back home' to center on Bills' offensive line. Here's why that matters
‘“It’s hard to believe but I was actually undersized in high school,” said McGovern. “So I was always the center because I was usually the smallest one. Then once I hit my growth spurt finally, I just stayed at center. I went to Penn State as a center. Moved to guard then went back to center. It was always something natural. I always liked being the guy right in the middle. It was always comfortable to me.”’

‘The addition of rookie mauler O’Cyrus Torrence at right guard and powerful Connor McGovern at left guard added more of a road-grading element to the Bills’ running game. Combined with the athleticism of tackles Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown, it allowed the Bills to have their best rushing season during the Josh Allen era.’

We got a lot of other guys that definitely complement my game … along with [quarterback] Josh [Allen], to make things work.”‘

Bills' rookie RB Ray Davis finds the light out of darkness
‘“To be here and to understand everything that I went through, man, it’s hard not to look back,” Davis said. “It’s hard not to bask in the moments of, dang, how did I get here? Why am I here? Every day I always question that. Not in a negative way, but in a way I’m like, man, I made it. I shouldn’t be here. Everybody knows I shouldn’t be here because of what I went through in my life. But I’m here.”’
Which Buffalo Bills players are ready to emerge on offense in 2024?

Not saying they were done unjustly or unfairly, but we just don’t know,” he added. “Now that we do know, we’ll be more proactive.”’
