When the Buffalo Bills signed Charles Clay to a five-year, $38 million contract in 2015, they expected him to be a consistent threat in the passing game.
So far this season, he is living up to those expectations.
In Clay’s first year with the Bills, he started 13 games, hauling in 51 catches for 528 yards and three touchdowns. Although those numbers are essentially on-par with Clay’s career averages, he struggled to string together performances week-to-week.
To illustrate that point, Clay had nine catches for 111 yards against the Giants in Week 4 last season, then had only 14 catches for 101 yards over his next four games.
