PositiveRoleAug 3, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL
Hawes played 43% of the Bills' snaps on offense during the 2025 regular season and made eight starts as a rookie. He is slated to enter the 2026 season in essentially the same role as the run-block tight end who likely replaces Kincaid in the Bills' 22 personnel grouping. With improvements Knox has made as an in-line blocker, pairing him with Hawes gives Buffalo a huge advantage in the run game. Even if Hawes stays steady and plays around 40% of offensive snaps again, the source expects he'll be a big part of what the team wants to do.

Hawes is slated to go into the 2026 season in essentially the same role he had in 2025, as the run-block tight end who likely replaces Kincaid in the Bills' 22 personnel grouping. With Reggie Gilliam now with the New England Patriots, there's even a chance Hawes does some work out of the backfield in an H-Back or fullback alignment. Head coach Joe Brady and offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael have options, and even if Hawes stays steady and plays around 40% of the offensive snaps again, the source expects he'll be a big part of what the team wants to do.

PositiveBreakoutJul 22, 2026Buffalo Rumblings
Hawes is a Year 2 tight end who quietly averaged 1.82 yards per route run on 102 routes as a rookie—an elite-level receiving efficiency metric despite the small sample size. He played 43% of snaps in his rookie season and could eclipse 50% in 2026 even if Dalton Kincaid stays healthy. Zachariason expects Hawes to demonstrate athleticism and sure-handedness in camp to garner more looks in the pass game, mostly underneath. Hawes' presence won't telegraph play intentions as much as Kincaid, and his growth potential resides in the receiving game rather than blocking, where his true strength won't be fully displayed in training camp.

Hawes, a devastating blocker, quietly averaged 1.82 yards per route run on 102 routes as a rookie—an elite-level figure despite the small sample size that hints at receiving promise. He played 43% of snaps in his rookie season; the source believes that number could eclipse 50% in 2026 even if Dalton Kincaid stays healthy. Hawes should demonstrate enough athleticism and sure-handedness in camp to garner more looks in the pass game, mostly underneath. His presence won't telegraph Buffalo's play intentions as much as Kincaid, and his growth potential resides in receiving rather than blocking.

Hawes, a devastating blocker, quietly averaged 1.82 yards per route run on 102 routes as a rookie—an elite-level figure despite the low sample size that hints at receiving promise. He has Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox ahead of him on the tight end depth chart but played on 43% of snaps in his rookie season. If the Bills limit Kincaid's workload, Hawes will take plenty of reps with the No. 1 offense. The source believes Hawes could eclipse 50% snap share in 2026 even if Kincaid stays reasonably healthy. Hawes should demonstrate enough athleticism and sure-handedness in camp to garner more looks in the pass game, mostly underneath. His presence won't telegraph Buffalo's play intentions as much as Kincaid's. While his true strength as a blocker won't be on full display in training camp due to league rules, the noise he makes will be as a receiver, where the most potential growth resides for the soon-to-be 26-year-old.
