1.Pads are on.
Sure Training Camp started last week but this is when you buckle in. This is the time on a plane between when you reach that peak takeoff speed and your ultimate cruising altitude. So just like my mom, I’m gonna close my eyes count to 100 and hope nothing bad happens with the thing I love so much.
2. Is Tyrell Shavers a name to watch?
WRs and weapons has obviously been a priority as far as mentions and looks at BillsCamp, the obvious names have had their debut in one way or the other, but Shavers has been one seemingly on the fringe for over a year.
When McDermott calls you out for consistency and work ethic, you know you’ve made it. That’s the best currency you can have as a fringe player. https://t.co/s3IB90vI0R

Things getting spicy with the pads on! Nice little scuffle between Alec Anderson & DeShawn Williams.

That we have it. Our first real skirmish of #BillsMafia training camp. DE Kingsley Jonathan and OL Alec Anderson were definitely involved, along with a few others. Quickly separated and back to their respective sides.

4. The Spork is Gonna Spork
Curtis Samuel sells a route (really well) and makes a sick TD catch in one on ones.

Holy cow. Curtis Samuel had a great catch in 1on1 vs DB drill. Double move, beat the DB, TD catch from Josh Allen as he fell backward in the end zone. #BillsMafia

5. Ty Johnson Gets Banged Up on Collision

(waiting for update on this)
6. Sometimes weapons need to be activated
Alot of talk headed into camp about what weapons would emerge, well some of the turnover on the roster we forgot involves the connection between JA and the center…
Fumbled snap with Allen under center. Connor McGovern has been iffy with shotgun snaps, now a miscue under center #Bills #BillsMafia

7. EVERYDAY IM SCUFFLIN
First day of pads has resulted in some minor skirmishes so far. Latest between Kaiir Elam and Mack Hollins.

Another skirmish at practice, between Elam and Hollins.

Could Mack have been outraged at Kaiir's choice of footwear? Or that he was wearing any at all? pic.twitter.com/NOBP4FoQko
8. Another day, another indicator the Keon Coleman anti-hype may have been BS
Crazy catch by Keon Coleman from Josh Allen. *Think he got his feet in. Looked like it was going to be a drop, but he managed to bring it in.
