Shorter is likely a very small factor in the grand scheme of the 2023 version of the Buffalo Bills’ offense. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t redeeming qualities to the massive fifth-round rookie out of Florida. Shorter has reportedly been turning some heads as a gunner on special teams and could soon find himself as an ace on the punt and kickoff units in the future.
Buscaglia commented on his prospects as a special teamer following his practice at the “Return of the Blue and Red” practice at Highmark Stadium.
He also noted in a later practice observation that it would take a “significant effort” from another receiver down the depth chart to unseat Shorter’s 53-man roster spot. Shorter is exceeding some expectations early in his career, while also making enough splash plays on offense to be a potentially useful piece in the future.
