A trio of new wide receivers to add to "Everybody Eats"
A few new players Allen is building chemistry with are wide receivers Joshua Palmer, Elijah Moore and Laviska Shenault. Palmer's last stop was with the Chargers where he played in 58 games and totaled 182 receptions, 2,287 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.
"I've been a fan of Josh's since he was coming out," Brady said of Palmer. "He's a very intelligent football player, consciousness, wants to know the why of everything. Kind of a seamless fit for our room. He's a guy that can play all positions, play inside, play outside. It was a great get for us."
Moore most recently played for the Browns and registered 120 receptions, 1,178 receiving yards and three touchdowns in 34 games. Brady said Moore is doing everything he can to learn Buffalo's offense.
"I feel like he's living here, wanting to just kind of embody it," Brady said. "Play inside, play outside. Figuring out, 'Hey, what is Josh thinking on these plays? What's the why?' We're from the same area, so I've been following him, I feel like his whole career."
Shenault has five seasons of NFL experience under his belt and has totaled 163 receptions, 1,587 receiving yards and six touchdowns in 63 games. Brady said he's enjoyed seeing Shenault's play-making ability and figuring out how it will work in Buffalo's offense.
"Laviska was an absolute playmaker coming out," Brady said of watching him in college. "Get the ball in his hands, and good things happen. And it's been really cool to just get these guys that are playmakers, being able to see what they can do and try to get a feel of and learn them. Just because a guy was utilized in a certain way somewhere else doesn't mean that's the only way they can be utilized."
How opportunities are opening for running backs
Brady was also asked about running back James Cook not being present yet for OTAs. The OC said there's a lot of love for the RB, but it also creates opportunities for others.
"I obviously love Jimbo, but it's just like with anyone, when someone's not here, it's a great opportunity for the guys that are," Brady shared. "And seeing Ray (Davis), Ty (Johnson), D-Ev (Darrynton Evans) and Frank (Gore Jr.) just get those opportunities, everybody kind of benefits from that. But I am excited whenever Jimbo is back with us."
