One of the most intriguing positional battles we've been watching since the start of 2010 Buffalo Bills training camp has been the free-for-all for reps and targets at the wide receiver position. Aside from veterans Lee Evans and Roscoe Parrish - known commodities and virtual locks to make the final roster - the team has a large pool (eight deep) of highly unproven talent that they're trying to develop. Here are some observations about each of those players to date in training camp:
Steve Johnson has been getting the bulk of the reps as the starter opposite Evans. The third-year player out of Kentucky has been the most consistent young receiver at camp, displaying a degree of polish to his game that several others don't possess yet. He has been targeted frequently on short and intermediate routes, and could develop a reputation as Buffalo's go-to possession receiver in time. He has good hands and is capable of making the tough catch; he just needs to continue to work on his consistency and become more of a presence on the football field.
