2019 NFL Mock Draft: Defensive line rules at start of training camp
By Randy Gurzi
11. Buffalo Bills: Anthony Johnson, Buffalo, WR
This offseason, the Buffalo Bills turned the page on their offense. They shipped quarterback Tyrod Taylor to Cleveland and brought in AJ McCarron and rookie Josh Allen. They believe Allen is the future and McCarron will battle second-year player Nathan Peterman for the right to be the ‘bridge quarterback’ in 2018.
No matter who ends up under center, the Bills are going to need some more options in the passing game. They didn’t get what they hoped for out of Zay Jones last year and while he isn’t a lost cause, he also isn’t enough to create a complete offense. The jury is also still out of Kelvin Benjamin who they acquired at the deadline.
In order to make up for anything they lack, the Bills keep adding pieces. This time they don’t have to look far as they draft Anthony Johnson out of Buffalo. Johnson played two seasons of community college ball before joining Buffalo in 2016. He didn’t get on the field until last year but proved to be worth the wait.
He had 1,356 yards and 14 touchdowns and if he can do similar damage in his senior season there’s no reason to think he won’t be one of the first couple wideouts to come off the board.
