Bills Sign TE Dalton Kincaid to Rookie Contract, Lock in Draft Class
Being a team's first pick in the draft hardly means you'll be the first one to sign once you arrive to the facility. Dalton Kincaid has certainly exemplified that in his two weeks as a member of the Buffalo Bills, but has now finally got the deal done.
The Bills officially signed their first-round tight end to his rookie deal on Saturday, the team announced. After the Bills traded up to No. 25 to select him, Kincaid is now the sixth and final player in Buffalo's 2023 draft class to sign with the team.
"It's an experience that not many people get to have and it's different for everyone," Kincaid said of his time as a Bill during rookie minicamp Friday. "So it's definitely just fun just coming to this organization. I'm very grateful. There's a lot there's been there's 31 others, and I feel like I've got the best of the bunch."
At 6-4, 240 pounds, Kincaid brings nice size to the tight end position, but seperates himself from the rest of most guys that play the position due to his receiving skills. In four of his five collegiate seasons, he caught at least eight touchdown passes. During his freshman year at San Diego, 11 of his 24 catches for the season were touchdowns.
Now imagine pairing this knack for scoring in an offense that will allow him to thrive, whether by design or by not. Kincaid could find ample space in yards-after-catch scenarios, especially when the rest of the secondary is downfield and quarterback Josh Allen has to make a short throw on the fly.
