The Buffalo Bills are taking a chance on a wide receiver following his suspension during the 2023 season. The Bills desperately needed help at wide receiver after losing Gabe Davis in free agency and Stefon Diggs in a trade with the Houston Texans. Those two were the Bills’ best wide receivers in 2023.
The Buffalo Bills drafted a WR at No. 33
The Bills drafted Keon Coleman with the No. 33 pick in the draft. However, the team needed to add some depth with experience this offseason. The Bills had a fire sale before free agency in March, and they’ve lost numerous veterans from a team that was a play away from playing in the AFC Championship.

This guy ran a 4.73 40. Bills seem determined to have the slowest receiver set in the league.
