The Facts: Knox, the Bills third round draft pick, has already impressed in his first three weeks on the job. His speed is evident, and he’s displayed athleticism in the rookie workouts and OTAS. His quarterback, Josh Allen, had early praise for Knox’s familiarity with the playbook in the May practices.

Diehards Line: Knox says the last three weeks, since he arrived in Buffalo, have been eye-opening and he considers himself an underdog. It's an approach that served him well going back to his college football career. “I walked on at Ole Miss, and that mentality has been what has defined me as a football player,” he says. “I want to come in and outwork anyone that’s in front of me and to do what they ask of me. There’s a lot of things I can’t control and a lot of things out of my reach, but whatever opportunity I’m given, I want to make the most of it.” As USA Today's Doug Farrar recently noted, an outstanding blocker and an underutilized target who can get open underneath and has the ramp-up speed for big plays downfield, Knox is the kind of player who emerges as a team favorite early on and gets the reps he deserves as a starter. Sounds like he's already demonstrating that.
