The Buffalo Bills have bolstered their tight end position by drafting Jaxson Hawes out of Georgia Tech in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. With Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid already securing their spots as fan favorites and trusted targets for quarterback Josh Allen, the addition of Hawes indicates the team’s intention to enhance their blocking capabilities. Hawes may not excel as a receiver, but his blocking skills align with the Bills’ strategic needs.

General Manager Brandon Beane noted that Knox remains the team's best blocker, reinforcing the depth at tight end. The introduction of Hawes enables the Bills to explore two-tight end sets, although it raises questions about Knox's playing time. The versatility created by adding a specialized blocking tight end could lead to significant changes in their offensive approach, especially in the event of injury.
