Dawson Knox Named Best Tight End In AFC East

The Buffalo Bills are still enjoying some time off this offseason before they report to training camp in July.

As they look towards the new season, one player stands out among his peers in the AFC East.

Recently Pro Football Focus put out a list of the Top 15 tight ends in the NFL.

Only one player from the AFC East made that list. That would be Buffalo's, Dawson Knox.

Here is what PFF had to say about Knox, who was ranked 12th on the Top 15 list.

Knox’s days in Buffalo might be numbered due to the arrival of Dalton Kincaid, but that won’t detract from his value to the Bills in 2023. With the seventh-highest WAR at the position over the past two seasons, Knox has been a safety valve for Josh Allen despite middling grades the past four seasons.

As they mentioned, the Buffalo Bills used their first-round draft pick on tight end Dalton Kincaid but many experts expect him to play more of a slot receiver out of the tight end spot whereas Knox will be more of a traditional blocking/catching tight end.

The fact that the Bills have both of them on their roster should be making the Bills Mafia drool. The amount of mismatches that the Bills should be able to create is unlimited.
