The Buffalo Bills are keeping a close eye on Miami Hurricanes Safety Kamren Kinchens as a potential draft target. With Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde gone, the Bills are seeking a reliable replacement in their defensive backfield.
Kinchens, a First-Team All-ACC selection in 2023, boasts coveted instincts at safety. He showcased an impressive knack for creating turnovers during his college career, including 11 interceptions over the last two seasons.
When asked about his strengths, Kinchens emphasized his instincts and aggressiveness, while acknowledging the need to balance risk-taking. He believes that film study plays a crucial role in honing those instincts, ensuring he knows what’s happening on the field.
Interestingly, Kinchens has a Buffalo connection already. During his time at “The U”, he worked closely with new Bills CB Coach Jahmile Addae, who was Miami’s Secondary Coach from 2022-2023.
Addae’s no-nonsense approach and commitment to keeping players grounded left a lasting impression on Kinchens. Their familiarity could be an asset if the Buffalo Bills decide to select him on Day 2 of the draft.
In a league where Safeties play a pivotal role, Kamren Kinchens’ combination of talent, instincts, and dedication makes him an exciting prospect for Buffalo. As the draft approaches, Bills fans eagerly await the team’s decision. Hopefully they get to see Kinchens don the red, white, and blue in the NFL.
