Coming into the 2024 season, Shakir was the lone Bills wide receiver who returned from the previous season and his chemistry with quarterback Josh Allen showed. He led the Bills in targets (100), receptions (76) and yards (821) — all of which were also career highs. He also set a career-high with four touchdown receptions.
He was also one of the most reliable wide receivers in the NFL as he only had one drop and ranked third amongst pass catchers with 597 yards after catch.
His breakout season in 2024 may have come as a surprise to some outside of Orchard Park, but we spoke to head coach Sean McDermott in January who said that’s far from the case.
“I think sometimes people mistake discipline for robotic," McDermott said. "He’s disciplined and he’s been a big-time staple of our offense.”
