Here’s a cheat sheet for the Buffalo Bills’ roster entering the 2024 training camp:
0 Keon Coleman: Gabe Davis went 45-746 in ’23. It will be good if Coleman clears that bar.
1 Curtis Samuel: Joe Brady targeted this 4.31 WR to be the X-factor in Bills’ offense.
2 Tyler Bass: Talented PK needs consistent year after going 2 of 5 in playoffs.
3 Damar Hamlin: No. 4 safety saw only 17 defensive snaps in ’23 but had good spring.
4 James Cook: Decreasing drops is a goal, but big year is ahead for dynamic RB.
5 Kaiir Elam: Needs to get better in off coverage to have shot to beat out Benford.
6 Shane Buechele: Dad Steve played 11 MLB seasons; practice-squad spot awaits.
Cornerback Taron Johnson, breaking up a pass in the end zone for Darren Waller on the final play of a win over the Giants, arguably is one of the Bills’ top five most valuable players. Derek Gee, Buffalo News
7 Taron Johnson: Second-team All-Pro is one of top 5 most valuable players on team.
8 Sam Martin: Bills had fewest punts in NFL, yet Martin still was a liability.
9 Taylor Rapp: Played 39% of snaps in ’23, but how long can he hold off Cole Bishop?
10 Khalil Shakir: Had 39 catches, but pace over last 13 games would give him 59.
11 Mitchell Trubisky: Can he keep ship afloat if Allen goes out four or five weeks? Yes.
13 Mack Hollins: The kind of veteran glue guy McDermott loves, helps special teams.
14 Chase Claypool: Big, contested-catch WR may offer insurance behind Keon Coleman.
16 Xavier Johnson: Undrafted WR was given Ohio State “0” jersey for character, toughness.
17 Josh Allen: Let’s see superstar QB get little more accurate on deep throws.
18 Justin Shorter: He has traits (6-4, 4.55) but needs big camp to have any shot.
19 K.J. Hamler: Intriguing because of 4.27 speed, but can he shake off slew of injuries?
20 Frank Gore Jr.: Son of future Hall of Famer rushed for 4,022 yards at Southern Miss.
21 Mike Edwards: Ballhawk whose ability to fill Micah Hyde’s shoes is a huge key to season.
22 Ray Davis: Runs a bit like Damien Harris and can catch; looms as No. 2 RB.
24 Cole Bishop: No. 2 pick but it’s harder to start Day 1 at safety than any other spot on D.
25 Daequan Hardy: Competitive, can play slot, won character award, had two PR TDs.
26 Ty Johnson: Has 4.40 speed and showed last year he can play if Cook or Davis go down.
29 Dee Delaney: Now on sixth NFL team, played 37% of snaps at safety for Bucs in ’23.
30 Jack Browning: Former walk-on succeeded Matt Araiza as punter at San Diego State.

39 Cam Lewis: Versatile backup to Taron Johnson played 13% of snaps last year.
40 Von Miller: Rose-colored view: He gets 12 sacks. Pessimist view: He’s washed.

42 Dorian Williams: Ex-third-round pick who ran 4.49 battling for No. 3 or No. 4 LB job.

44 Joe Andreessen: All-WNYer from Lancaster living dream after winning camp LB spot.
45 Deion Jones: With 91 starts, 13 INTs, 5 TDs, ex-Falcons star would be tough cut.

48 Edefuan Ulofoshio: Dad emigrated from Nigeria to Alaska; mom earned psychology PhD.

50 Greg Rousseau: With Leonard Floyd gone, how much can he raise ’23 sack total (5.0)?
51 Eli Ankou: Run-plugging DT is a survivor, on 13th NFL stop in seven years.
52 Nicholas Morrow: Started for Eagles last year, seems like lock as backup LB.
53 Branson Deen: Undersized, undrafted DT must be twitchy to make practice squad.
54 Baylon Spector: Injury limited him in 2023; now faces mad competition for job.
55 David Ugwoegbu: Switched from LB to DE as senior. Nice frame but raw as rusher.
56 Javon Solomon: Undersized, bendy situational DE. The dream: He’s Bryce Huff.
57 A.J. Epenesa: Had 6½ sacks despite only 36% of snaps. His play time will rise.
58 Matt Milano: A healthy Milano getting back to playmaking ways is one key to season.
59 Kingsley Jonathan: Active 13 games last year but faces longer odds for DL spot.

66 Connor McGovern: Loves move to center, where he played in HS and a year at Penn State.
67 Travis Clayton: Ex-rugby player may be longest shot ever at Bills camp.

69 Reid Ferguson: Needs 16 games to pass Adam Lingner (140) for most by a Bills long snapper.
70 Alec Anderson: Center-guard spent all of ’23 on roster. Can he hang onto 8 or 9 spot?
71 La’el Collins: Has 86 NFL starts. If healthy, may be great insurance at RT.
73 Dion Dawkins: Has three straight Pro Bowls and back-to-back Payton Man of Year nominations.
74 Ryan Van Demark: The No. 3 OT worked as a baby model for Polo, Toys ‘R’ Us, others.
75 Richard Gouraige: After year on practice squad, let’s see him push for No. 4 OT.
76 David Edwards: Goes way back with Aaron Kromer, takes over starting LG job.
77 Will Clapp: One of four Bills from New Orleans, faces a slew of competition.
79 Spencer Brown: Played excellent in 2023 and could be in line for an extension.
80 Tyrell Shavers: Yet another big WR option who had some good moments in spring.
81 Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Managed only 21-315 with Mahomes. Temper your expectations.

88 Dawson Knox: Can popular newlywed veteran rebound from 22-catch year in 2023?
89 Bryan Thompson: Arizona State product hung on practice squad all last year.
90 DeWayne Carter: Bills need some pass rush behind Ed Oliver; they hope Carter is it.
91 Ed Oliver: Key piece of puzzle. Got big contract. Made 9½ sacks. Giddy up.
92 DaQuan Jones: Started 2023 like house afire. Bills need him to recover that form.
93 DeShawn Williams: Just one sack with Carolina. Can he show enough rush to make team?
94 Dawuane Smoot: Stout edge setter whom Bills will need against power run teams.
96 Kameron Cline: San Diego native, South Dakota star, on practice squad in ’23.
97 Rondell Bothroyd: Made 44 starts at Oklahoma/Wake Forest, had 14 sacks from 2021-22.
98 Austin Johnson: Underrated run-stuffing signing by Beane. Backup to DaQuan Jones.
