Bills' Khalil Shakir given perfect nickname by Tre White image

Khalil Shakir, outside of Buffalo, probably fits the bill as one of the most underrated wide receivers in football.

With the Bills, of course, he's beloved. He catches everything and is a monster after the catch in a very slippery, sneaky kind of way.

What Shakir hasn't had to this point is a good nickname.

Consider that no longer a problem.

Veteran cornerback Tre'Davious White, back with the Bills this season after years away, is impressed by Shakir.

White denoted Shakir "Velcro."

“One guy that specifically stuck out to me, man, for sure was Khalil, like just his after catch, the way he attacked the ball and just not dropping anything, just hands of Velcro, man," White told reporters.

Buffalo will gladly start calling its favorite receiver "Velcro." Shoot, they'll have T-shirts made in no time.

Shakir holds the NFL record by catching 30 consecutive targeted passes.

Yeah, Velcro it is.
