Smoke is back
Shaq Lawson, Jordan Phillips, Dean Marlowe, A.J. Klein and now John “Smoke” Brown. The Bills have been leaning on players this year who had stints in Buffalo and wanted to come back, and it’s been paying off. Buffalo welcomed Brown back to their roster on Saturday afternoon. The WR originally played for the Bills from 2019 to 2020.
Brown was not previously on a team this season but made sure to stay in shape in case someone had interest. The WR said he got the call from the Bills the day before Thanksgiving.
“Me and Coach Chad (Hall) kept in contact, and I was texting him and I told him I was still working out,” Brown said. “So, I was able to send him some videos of me working out. And then, I ended up getting a call.”
His teammates are happy he’s back in Buffalo and believe he can be a part of the offense.
“It’s good to see Smoke back, it’s good to have him back,” quarterback Josh Allen said. “We love him in this locker room. We’ve missed him the last year. It’s a veteran presence who knows our offense.
“He can still play too. I don’t know really what the plan is, it’s not up to me. But it’s a guy I trust, I’ve got a lot of familiarity with, a guy that I can rely on so it’s good to have him back.”
Brown led the team with over 1,000 receiving yards in 2019. The WR had some of his most successful years with the Bills and said it feels like he’s back at home.
“Just the way you’re treated, the way the organization treats you,” Brown said of his love for Buffalo. “The way the fans and just the whole town of Buffalo, they treat us with a whole bunch of respect. You don’t find many places like that. So to be able to come back and just to be part of it is a great thing because I watch every game. Since I left, I’ve been rooting the guys on. I still stayed in contact with a lot of people.”
In terms of what role he wants to play on offense, Brown said he’ll do whatever is needed. He also said he doesn’t think it’ll take too much time to pick up the offense again…
