Josh Allen, a member of the Bills, is a guitar technician in a tribute band. There is a time and a place for this.

The Buffalo Bills wide receiver likes to get in his teammates' ears and try to get them to relax. He considers fellow receiver Gabriel Davis a brother.

He could run a route and catch the ball, but I told him to tuck the ball. He asked if he coulduck the ball. He's angry at that. Anything with him will cause him to lose his mind.

I want to see you get paid a lot of money, that's what I want to hear from you multiple times.

The 2020 fourth-round pick needs to take on a bigger role in the offense in order to get a big pay day down the road.

Expectations have gone up with the departure of the two players. The Bills need him to step into the No. 2 wide receiver role and perform well with the rest of the team.

Wide receiver coach Chad Hall has challenged Davis to be a more vocal leader because he is not as open as McKenzie.

He could have started all three years if he'd been in a position like that, according to Hall.

It took until the second half of the season for Davis to get a lot of playing time. He did not have a game with more than two targets from Week 1 to Week 6.

He didn't complain even though he was frustrated. It will be there. Hall told him to be prepared.

The key to this game is patience. It helped me a lot. "I have learned how to have it." I sat back and watched. A lot of great players taught me how to play.

He took advantage of the opportunities that came his way.

Davis played more than half of the snaps for the first time in the game. He played more than 80% of the snaps for the rest of the season, and four of his six touchdown came in the final two weeks of the season. He had 35 catches for 548 yards.

To create a fantasy football league you want to play in, you need to choose your league size, score, and rules.

It's free to create your own league.

Davis caught four touchdown passes in the team's playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. In the regular season, he scored two more goals than he did in January.

"Anything that he did that game, I was not surprised by it," he said. He had a lot of fun. If you look at the career of a young guy like Gabe, he is having a hell of a career.

Josh Allen liked to look in the end zone for Davis, who was tied for eighth in the league in end zone targets.

Brandon Beane has noted how hard the wide receiver has been working and that he will be getting a lot more snaps than he is used to. Hall says that Davis' work in becoming a more complete route runner without any indicators gives him a strength. The receiver has not taken a vacation or day off this summer. Davis is in the gym at 6 a.m. every morning, even though it isn't open until 7.

Will Davis be able to take on the bigger role?

Will he be able to handle the mental workload? Ken said that there were two things to consider: how hard you work at it. He has both of those qualities at a very high level.
