Khalil Shakir

Shakir put up a 208-2,878-20 line in four seasons at Boise State and averaged 96.6 YPG his final two years. He then ran a 4.43 40 at 6-0, 196, with solid marks in the other drills, thus looking like a steal as a 2022 fifth-round pick. Shakir nonetheless spent his rookie year at fourth or fifth on the depth chart and finished the regular season with 161 yards, though he went for 3-75-1 in Week 5 when Isaiah McKenzie was injured and later caught five passes for 91 yards in two playoff games. The Bills still have Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis -- plus they spent a first-round pick on TE Dalton Kincaid -- but they let McKenzie walk in free agency and only added two receivers who are arguably best known for their contributions on special teams (Deonte Harty, Trent Sherfield). That leaves Shakir with a nice shot to win a top-three role in a high-powered offense, which is all the more appealing after Davis failed to capitalize on his own breakout opportunity last season. There's a scenario where Shakir gets the second most targets on the team ... and another scenario where he spends most of the year on the bench again. Read Past Outlooks
