Last season, the Bills opted to cancel the final day of mandatory minicamp practices. This year, Buffalo decided one more practice before a long break would be beneficial for everyone because of the volume of new players on the roster.
“Obviously there’s a high percentage of new players, new faces, so the more reps we can get the better,” McDermott said Thursday. “I appreciate the players willingness and their attitude when they went out there. Not all teams are practicing on the third day of minicamp, and I appreciated their attitude.”
Before hitting the field for their final practice, McDermott also spoke to the team about why he felt it was necessary to have one more day of practice.
“He made a statement saying I think around 40% of our team is still new,” cornerback Kaiir Elam shared. “I think from where we started at from the first OTA practice to now, I feel like we have gotten way, way, way cleaner. And when you know what you’re doing, you can play a lot faster. So, I feel like the effort was a lot better too than when we first started.”
