2. Tight end Mik'Quan Deane excited for opportunity with Bills

The Bills claimed tight end Mik'Quan Deane from Western Kentucky University off waivers last Wednesday. Deane is now the third rookie tight end the Bills have added this offseason and is excited to get to work as Buffalo undergoes OTAs.

"I just thought the facilities and everything were super nice and everyone was nice to me are my first impressions," Deane said. "I'll just come in and keep my head down and keep working. I've already got so many friends and good teammates."

Deane graduated from Western Kentucky this spring and finished his senior season with 44 receptions for 530 yards and six touchdowns. Deane was on the 2018 John Mackey Award Watch List, given annually to the best tight end in the country.

Deane already feels like he's getting a good feel for the schemes and loves the offense the has been set up. As he gets used to the plays Deane will be able to get reps at different positions like the F or the Y.

"We kind of learn as a group," Deane said. "They're more advanced than me right now because I only got here five days ago. I get extra learning time by myself and it's been a good experience, everyone's behind me like Dawson [Knox] and Tommy [Sweeney], everyone's been helping me."

Knox and Sweeney were each 2019 NFL Draft picks of the Bills and are in their first OTAs as well. With Tyler Kroft out, more reps have opened up for the younger tight ends. Deane was getting his reps with the third team.
