Filling in offensive needs | Picking through the best wide receivers for the Bills
‘Find a second- or third-round receiver’ | Charles Davis, *NFL Network*
When asked which receiver scares Davis, a former defensive back, the most, he answered Carnell Tate without any hesitation. The former Buckeye finished his third collegiate season, registering 875 yards and nine touchdowns on 51 receptions.
"Tate's ability to be pretty darn shifty at darn near top speed," Davis said of what stands out about the Tate's talent. "And he goes and gets the football."
The prospects out of Ohio State overall stick out positively to Davis too.
"These Ohio State kids are a little bit different, and I really like the second receivers at Ohio State because … they try harder and they come up through the ranks, and they're not shy of competition."
Outside of Tate, who was Davis' clear No. 1 answer, Makai Lemon, Jordyn Tyson and Malachi Fields out of Notre Dame were next on his list.
"I just thought Lemon was exceptional this year, I really did. I thought he was a heck of a player," Davis said. "… Shiftiness, yards after catch, getting him on the ground's not easily done and he likes to operate that way. One move, whoosh and off he goes."
Davis left the One Bills Live crew on a note about Fields, emphasizing his impressive Senior Bowl week.
Despite having the body type and speed, the one thing that drops Tyson's appeal is his injury history. He sustained a multi-ligament knee tear, including the ACL, MCL and PCL, in 2022 as well as a broken collarbone in 2024. A nagging hamstring injury also affected him throughout 2025.
"As usual, we'll find a second- or third-round receiver that's pretty darn good," Davis said.
