The speedy Lavishka Shenault could play a bigger role with the Buffalo Bills amid a proposed change to kickoff rules.
The article from Heavy.com discusses the potential for Buffalo Bills' wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. to have an expanded role in the 2024 season due to a new NFL rule change. This rule, approved by NFL owners, allows teams to have an emergency third quarterback from the inactive list in case of injuries to the first two quarterbacks, which could benefit players like Shenault who has experience playing quarterback in college. The Bills, having faced quarterback injuries in the past, could utilize this rule to keep Shenault active, potentially using him in various roles including as a gadget player or even in emergency quarterback situations. The article highlights Shenault's versatility, mentioning his ability to play multiple positions, which could make him a valuable asset under the new rule. Additionally, it notes that while Shenault has not been a significant contributor in terms of receptions, his unique skill set might now find more use with this strategic advantage.
