In leading the Buffalo Bills to their first AFC East title in 25 years and an appearance in the AFC Championship game for the first time since the 1993 season, quarterback Josh Allen broke out in a big way to enjoy an MVP-caliber season.
In today’s edition of the Bills daily links, we examine which current members of the Bills could enjoy a similar breakout campaign in 2021. The group is led by running back Zack Moss, defensive tackle Ed Oliver, cornerback Dane Jackson, and tight end Jacob Hollister.
We also continue to dissect Buffalo’s positional groups heading into training camp, breaking down the state of the running backs, the offensive tackles, the wide receivers, and the race to earn a spot on the roster behind Allen and backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.
We learn why the Bills have one of the most well-structured QB rooms in the NFL, hear why one national football writer says Buffalo is “playing with fire” by not re-signing Allen ASAP, and more!
