Bills highlight five breakout candidates for the 2026 NFL season

The Buffalo Bills, in preparation for the 2026 NFL season, are focusing on five players who could significantly impact the team. Tight end Dalton Kincaid aims to build on his previous seasons with a potentially larger role in the passing game, especially with new additions like DJ Moore drawing defensive attention. Cornerback Maxwell Hairston, a first-round draft choice, looks to become a starter and improve his performance after a rookie season hampered by injuries. Wide receiver Keon Coleman seeks to elevate his game in his third year, aiming to seize more opportunities as defenses shift focus. Defensive tackle T.J. Sanders, whose rookie campaign was affected by injury, is working to regain his form. The Bills are counting on these players to elevate the team's performance and make a playoff run.
