The Buffalo Bills have a new starting center for the 2024 NFL season. Following the departure of the venerable and stoic Mitch Morse, it’s fair to say there’s been a bit of an adjustment period as Connor McGovern moves over from guard to center.
Though hardly a new position by any means for McGovern and the position he feels most at home playing, there’s always a natural adjustment period in the quarterback-center relationship. From the timber of one’s voice, how they call out protections, hold the football, and snap to the signal caller — they’re often unique to the individuals tasked with setting the ball for live play.
