2) #FreeLoganThomas is real
- He was admitted to the #Free club early into the offseason, but Logan Thomas is now the charter member of the #Free club from here on out. Why you might ask? It’s not every day you happen upon a 6-foot-6, 250-plus pound tight end that runs like a gazelle, moves around as well as any tight end as you’ll see, and has the ball skills to make him a dependable target in the offense. All of that was on display on Tuesday, as Thomas continued a really good training camp through the first five days. The big question about Thomas is about whether he can actually block well enough to be trusted in a bigger type of role, or even how well he’s taking to the offense and the mental side of the game. However, with all that raw ability, I’d keep him on the active roster and carve out around 5-to-10 plays a game that he’s involved in some sort of capacity.
5) Vallejo getting an extended look
- On Sunday when the Bills gave Lorenzo Alexander a few plays off from team drills, we saw them work rookie sixth-round pick Tanner Vallejo in with the first-team defense at strong side linebacker. On Tuesday, they took it a step further by giving Alexander a “veteran’s day off” to rest and gave all the first-team reps to Vallejo. The Bills have liked what they’ve seen from him so far both on the field, and how he’s prepared off the field, too — and head coach Sean McDermott made it a point to go over that when he met with reporters ahead of practice. Vallejo, at this point anyway, has completely passed fifth-round Matt Milano on the depth chart, and is firmly in consideration to not only make the 53-man roster but to even have a role in 2017. It’s still very early and we need to see him in a game setting, but the Bills love what they’ve seen from the sixth-rounder so far.
