Buffalo Bills' second-year running back Ray Davis is far from an average 25-year-old. From becoming a "ward of the state" by the time he was 8 years old to rushing for 1,000+ yards at three different Division I colleges, he is a remarkable example of survival and triumph. Serving as a rookie understudy to starter James Cook, Davis saw action in all 17 games last season. The 2024 fourth-round draft pick provided an effective change of pace to the tune of 631 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns.

It's beginning to look like an externally-fabricated controversy that may never actually rise to a controversial level. Running back James Cook, entering the final year of his rookie contract, opted out of the Buffalo Bills' voluntary team activities, and the alarmists were quick to warn of a potential hold out. Cook, however, silenced any speculation of bad blood between the player and the team when he showed up to June minicamp on time and proceeded to offer official media availability.

Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas did it. More recently, former All-Pro safety Jordan Poyer did, too. Cornerback Rasul Douglas, however, appears hesitant to follow that same path post-Buffalo Bills' tenure. The former Bills' starting cornerback reportedly rejected a contract offer from the AFC East rival Miami Dolphins.

Aaron Rodgers pulled it off in 2021, but the terrain may be slanted against Buffalo Bills' quarterback Josh Allen as he attempts to repeat the feat. Allen captured his first NFL MVP award this past February, edging out Baltimore Ravens' quarterback Lamar Jackson in a close vote. Winning the award for the second straight year, however, is an achievement that will likely elude Allen in 2025, according to Sports Illustrated senior reporter Albert Breer.

The Buffalo Bills overhauled their defensive line this past offseason, making multiple notable additions, but there's also hope that returning players will elevate their performances to form a more productive unit in 2025. Second-year defensive end Javon Solomon falls into that latter category, and the 2024 late fifth-round draft pick appears primed to earn a larger role as a pass rusher.
