Elijah Moore is slowly getting used to his new surroundings as the newest member of the Buffalo Bills, and that means catching passes from the current NFL MVP, Josh Allen.

A free agency signing, Moore comes to an offense that averaged a crisp 30.9 points per game last season, with Allen the figurehead of Joe Brady's scheme.
Having been a Cleveland Brown for the past two seasons (1,178 yards, three touchdowns), Moore now comes to a genuine contender, and as OTAs begin, he is starting to get a feel for what it will be like as a member of Brady's offense.
And that includes watching Allen up close on the practice field.
"When I wasn't in, I was just watching him, because obviously I'm on the other side of it now," Moore said via WGR 550 AM. "I've been playing against him for going into four years now, and it just looked better now that he's on my side. The balls were pretty. The way that he practices, he jokes around, but at the same time, he's locked in."
Moore comes to an offense that is brimming with talent, especially at the receiver position.
Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer, and Curtis Samuel are likely ahead of Moore on the depth chart as things stand. Then we have tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox, and running backs James Cook, Ray Davis, and Ty Johnson, who round out the unit.
So, snaps might be hard to come by, but with an "everybody eats" mantra fueling the Bills, Moore will get his time in the sun; he just has to make it count.
And that is a lot easier when Allen is your quarterback.
