The Buffalo Bills are preparing for the upcoming 2024 NFL season, and they are looking for players to step up and help them compete for a championship. One player that is expected to make a significant impact is wide receiver Khalil Shakir.
Recently, Sports Illustrated made a bold prediction that Shakir will lead all Bills wideouts in receptions this season. This prediction comes after Shakir was listed as a starting wide receiver alongside free-agent signing Curtis Samuel and rookie Keon Coleman.
Shakir has already impressed many sports writers, including Gary Gramling, who sees him as having the same qualities as top-tier wide receiver Cooper Kupp of the Los Angeles Rams. With Stefon Diggs trading away and Gabe Davis walking in free-agency, Shakir has an opportunity to shine in the Bills’ receiving corps.
Comparing him to Kupp shows the level of potential the Bills see in Shakir. While it’s a bold prediction, if he can live up to expectations, it could be a game-changer for the Bills.
