The Buffalo Bills are back in full swing, as training camp carries on following an off day on Saturday, and the Bills took the field with a new signing on hand.

The Bills signed wide receiver Kelly Akharaiyi following David White being placed on the reserve/retirement list. The Mississippi State product caught 25 passes and two touchdowns in 2024. In 2023 while with UTEP, he had an astounding 21.5 yards per catch and seven scores on 48 catches.

Akharaiyi joins a crowded wide receivers room that will feature the likes of KJ Hamler, Tyrell Shavers, and Jalen Virgil to compete for the final spot on the depth chart.
