Two Bills Drive

‘As a sixth-round pick, Hardy might need to win the punt return job to make the 53-man roster. At least one national analyst believes he’ll do just that. Last month, NFL.com’s Chad Reuter named Hardy to his preseason all-rookie team as a return specialist.’

‘Hollins, who I interviewed once during college at the University of North Carolina, is a delight. If you’re not following his daily habits on Instagram now (which take a different theme each month), I highly recommend doing so. On top of that, Hollins is always very vocal in hyping up his teammates during practice, and I think fans will latch on to that energy quickly.’

‘People stop by on their way to the Bills Store, or on their drive to or from work or some other destination around Orchard Park. Many take photos and post them on social media, noting the progress of the $1.7 billion project. Even those visiting the Buffalo area from out of town make sure to stop by.’

‘Two ideas: 1. Offer residential customers a team-by-team subscription plan or, 2. The option to pay game-to-game.’

‘Do the Bills trust him to play safety in a backup role, but more importantly, be a core special-teamer? They didn’t last year. He appeared in only five regular-season/playoff games and played 17 defensive snaps and 94 special-teams snaps. The Bills released Jordan Poyer in March, and Micah Hyde remains unsigned, but they re-signed Taylor Rapp (last year’s third safety), added veteran Mike Edwards from Kansas City and drafted Utah’s Cole Bishop in the second round. Plus, Cam Lewis has the versatility to play safety and nickel. Hamlin is obviously an inspirational story after returning to play after going into cardiac arrest on the field in January 2023, but he needs a good camp to earn a roster spot.’

‘In the six decades since, Booker has emerged as one of Buffalo’s foremost citizens. Though he was born in Arkansas, on July 5, 1939, and grew up in Illinois, he is by now Buffalo to the bone. He’s been an administrator of Erie County’s CETA employment program, director of equity and diversity at Erie Community College, and a leader of the Buffalo Bills Alumni Foundation while it raised more than $2.7 million for a range of local causes.’

‘“He’ll continue to build through the break that we’re going to go on,” McDermott said during mandatory minicamp. “And then hopefully in training camp, he’s at a spot where when we open up, he’s available. It’s just a matter of putting it one day at a time and trying to put practices back to back. Don’t know yet on that. And we’ll just have to see.”’
