If Anthony Lynn had his way, Joe McKnight would have been in Buffalo this past summer. Maybe, even longer.
The Bills assistant coach had envisioned bringing in his former player for a post-NFL draft workout in the hopes that the organization would sign the running back before training camp.
“We talked twice a week there for a while,” Lynn said by phone Friday afternoon. “He was sending me workout video and I was showing our personnel people and I said, ‘Look, just trust me on this one. I know this cat. And he’s ready to roll.’”
But Lynn said he and his promising pupil never connected.
