After being selected by the Buffalo Bills at the 2022 NFL draft, cornerback Kaiir Elam said he wanted the team to send him the playbook right away so he could study on the way to Western New York.
That wasn’t just talking for the cameras.
The team released a behind the scenes look at the moment Elam was picked. As the story went, Buffalo traded up two spots to take him in Round 1.
Perhaps that added to the shock for Elam, but nonetheless, the player was at a loss for words when receiving the phone call. Some of the only ones he was able to squeak out? Him sincerely asking for the playbook right away.
