    WR Justin Shorter

    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.

      Wasn’t he a fifth round pick?

          Sukie cheated he read my post otherwise.

            Whoops. I'm confusing him with Shavers. Another guy who was supposed to be a STs demon.

              Interestingly, I don't think he was targeted at all in the game versus Indianapolis. Instead, a couple other tall and faster than expected receivers, Dezmon Patton and Tyrel Shavers, both had receptions for touchdowns.
              I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

              I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                All those dudes looked the same during the game. Patmon, Ateman, Shorter and Shavers.

                I will refer to them as Patman Shovers.

                  Agree, mostly. Shorter didn't look like anything other than invisible. Also, Shavers, who dropped at least 2 passes, looked huge. And faster. Never heard of him before today, but you could slightly see some next level skill/traits.

                    Also, someone is signing Keyshawn Johnson from our cuts.

                      They've already made cuts?

                        I wouldn't be surprised if two or three receivers we cut end up on somebody else's regular 53.

                          It’s obvious that the six WR’s to make the 53 man roster are pretty much cast in stone. What few snaps they got were in the first half. The competition is for practice squad.

                          Barring any injuries the six are what was expected even before training camp started. And probably in this order.

                            The Giants will sign the 5 WRs we cut.

                              That's how Shorter makes this team...by being a ST contributor. Without it, he's PS fodder.
