When the Buffalo Bills drafted Dawson Knox in the third round during the 2019 NFL Draft, it was expected that the team had finally solved the floundering production of their tight end position. While Knox’s first two seasons in the league were slight disappointments thanks to injuries and stretches of ineffective play, in his third year Knox finished with 587 yards and nine touchdowns. It seems that the soon to be fourth-year player’s struggles are behind him, and he is now cemented as the team’s starter moving forward.
However, while general manager Brandon Beane’s recent comments regarding utilizing two-tight-end sets in a recent interview on WGR550 in Buffalo, indicate that he may think the team is better served in having two effective players at the position outside of just Knox.
