Patrick Moran dives into six Buffalo Bills players he believes are being seriously overlooked heading into the 2026 NFL season. From breakout candidates to underrated veterans, Patrick explains why several key contributors could end up playing massive roles for Buffalo this year.

Key Takeaways

  • Dalton Kincaid may be primed for a breakout season if he can stay healthy, with Patrick arguing he’s far more impactful than national rankings suggest.
  • Dorian Williams could thrive in Buffalo’s new defensive scheme and may surprise fans expecting a rookie linebacker takeover.
  • Deone Walker has the potential to become a true NFL star and one of the Bills’ most impactful defensive players.
  • Khalil Shakir could benefit greatly from a more aggressive passing attack and less defensive attention thanks to DJ Moore.
  • Bradley Chubb might end up being Buffalo’s most important front-seven addition despite not generating major offseason buzz.
