LSU Wide Receiver Summarizes Bills Meeting, Responds to Draft Hype Mock
The Buffalo Bills might lose a lot of players in free agency this offseason, but none of the team’s weaknesses have captured the public’s interest like the gap on the boundary that Gabe Davis left behind. Due to speculation around top receiver Stefon Diggs and Davis’ likely departure, the receiver position has received special attention this summer. With Buffalo selecting 28th overall, there’s a good chance Buffalo will select a second-tier receiver. Few receivers have been made fun of by the Bills more than LSU’s Brian Thomas Jr. The team met with him during the NFL Scouting Combine, so the widespread rumors might have merit. Meetings, particularly at this early stage of the process, don’t always indicate a high level of interest, but it makes sense that Buffalo is gathering data on possible targets.
Thomas discussed the meeting and what he would add to the Buffalo offense when he was available to the media. “Yes, I did meet with the Bills.” Simply being able to be myself and be a playmaker makes me think that I would make a fantastic wide receiver and teammate, Thomas added. Thus, I would claim that I would provide a squad with all those intangibles. Thomas distinguishes himself with his athleticism, although he plays a similar role to Davis as the main deep threat on the boundary. He’s a more fluid athlete than Davis, and even if the LSU product has greater vertical explosiveness, one of his biggest advantages is his increased consistency in winning below. Expectations will always be quite high when a quarterback with Josh Allen’s caliber leads the attack. There’s hope that they can be accomplished because of the way interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady messed with the foundation Ken Dorsey laid, especially with more dynamic personnel. Brady oversaw the passing game at LSU during their championship run thanks to the play of Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Justin Jefferson. On Wednesday, the Tiger-bound relationship was brought up. Thomas remarked, “We were just talking about his time at LSU and a lot of football.” I was just talking a lot of football because I wasn’t present when he was. discussing our experiences at LSU.
Although their ties to LSU are meaningless, when rumors fly during the NFL Draft cycle, he will almost certainly be selected at No. 28 in other mock selections. When questioned about his thoughts on the increasing belief that he will be traveling to Western New York, Thomas said it wasn’t anything he was considering. Thomas admitted, “I haven’t really been paying attention to a lot of mock drafts.” “I haven’t been paying attention because I’ve been trying to avoid the media.” Irrespective of his awareness, the anticipation keeps growing. Because of how deep this class is, Buffalo might decide to address the receiver room on Day 2 instead, but Thomas is probably going to hear his name called in Round 1, wherever that may be.
