## Resource

Buffalo Bills special teams is heating up ahead of training camp, with a fierce punter battle between veteran Mitch Wishnowsky and rookie Tommy Doman Jr., a seventh-round pick poised to steal the spotlight. Kicker Tyler Bass, sidelined last season, must prove he’s back — or face competition from veteran Matt Prater. Meanwhile, long snapper Reid Ferguson is a guaranteed starter, entering his 10th season as the team’s most tenured player. And at punt returner, Sam Franklin Jr. may not be alone — Mecole Hardman Jr. or Keon Coleman could challenge him, potentially reshuffling Khalil Shakir’s role. With camp just around the corner, fans are primed for a wild ride as the Bills’ special teams unit takes shape. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
