The Buffalo Bills have reworked their running back room over the course of this offseason, prioritizing speedy players in a way that they really haven’t under head coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane. In the past, it seemed that Buffalo was content to sign players at the running back position who could guarantee them four yards rather than someone who may dance a bit and break off big plays while also losing ground on certain carries.
Regardless of our feelings about how the team has handled the position, the injury to kick returner/passing game weapon/gadget guy Nyheim Hines clearly threw a monkey wrench into the team’s plans at the position.
