Bills TE Dalton Kincaid shows off sticky hands with great catch at training camp

If the Buffalo Bills continue to enjoy aerial success throughout the 2024 NFL season, it will likely be due in part to a significant jump in production from second-year tight end Dalton Kincaid.

The 24-year-old should see his offensive profile increase given the offseason departures of Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis; the two left behind 241 unaccounted targets, and as Buffalo’s leader in returning targets from last season (91), many anticipate Kincaid will be quarterback Josh Allen’s go-to guy in the passing game this fall.

Allen has called on his tight end frequently throughout Buffalo’s 2024 training camp, showcasing the relationship they developed a year ago, while Kincaid has shown off his well-documented strengths and generally improved confidence. The two connected for perhaps their most impressive completion of camp so far Monday, a pass in which Allen floated the ball down the middle to the sophomore. Kincaid battles through tough coverage from safety Taylor Rapp, who is still able to get his hands on the ball as they fall to the ground; Kincaid shows off his sticky hands as he secures the possession and finishes the reception.

The Bills posted a clip of this great catch on their social media accounts:

It was an impressive catch from Kincaid that showcases his receiving ability, which was considered one of his strengths coming out of Utah. He flashed his talents repeatedly throughout his rookie season, finishing the 2023 campaign with 73 receptions for 673 yards and two touchdowns. Given the promise he displayed as a rookie and the offseason departures of other key offensive playmakers, many expect Kincaid to supersede his rookie production by a considerable margin this fall.

Kincaid may be able to rewrite Buffalo’s record books this year. His 73 receptions as a rookie are already the most by a Bills tight end in a single season, and if he reaches 726 receiving yards this season, he will break the record for most receiving yards by a Buffalo tight end in a year, currently held by Paul Costa. The current record was set in the 1967 AFL season on a team led by Jack Kemp and Tom Flores, who would go on to become one of the most influential head coaches in NFL history.

It’s probably time for this record to be broken.
