Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen praised newly acquired wide receiver DJ Moore following the team's organized team activities (OTAs) on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, highlighting Moore's unique physical capabilities and quick integration into the locker room.
The Bills acquired Moore from the Chicago Bears via a trade in March 2026 to address weaknesses in their pass-catching group, reuniting the veteran wideout with Buffalo offensive coordinator Joe Brady.
Moore recorded 50 receptions for 682 yards and six touchdowns through 17 games in 2025 as younger receivers assumed larger roles.
Speaking to the media after Tuesday's practice, Allen detailed his initial on-field impressions of Moore's athletic abilities.
"He's able to contort his body in different ways that I don't think I've ever seen, and he's not a small guy," said Allen, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.
Allen further noted that the veteran receiver possesses deceptive speed on the field.
"He's faster than you think, and he just kind of glides on people," said Allen.
The Bills quarterback expressed immediate enthusiasm about working with his new primary target.
"He's very fun to throw to," said Allen.
Allen also revealed that his connection with Moore predates their time as professional teammates, recalling an encounter from early in their respective NFL careers.
"We go, actually, way back," said Allen.
"We sat next to each other at the rookie premiere, signing Panini cards and autograph cards next to each other.
… So, [we were] getting some good conversations back then."
The quarterback emphasized that Moore has adapted swiftly to the team environment, providing a steady presence during early offseason workouts.
"It's pretty cool to have him here now," said Allen.
According to Allen, Moore's personality allowed him to bond easily with the rest of the Buffalo roster.
"He's really one of the guys," said Allen. "Obviously, it's a really natural relationship that we have.
Fits in this locker room extremely well, very talkative with the guys. And just very excited to work with him."
Allen concluded by explaining how the current offseason program helps the offensive unit build coordination and fix mistakes before the competitive season begins.
"[Y]ou’re able to do more [in OTAs], to see what works and what doesn’t," said Allen.
"Obviously, again, we go out there, we make mistakes — which is going to happen.
Chalk it up to the first couple days of OTAs and be like, hey, we like this, we don’t like this."
The Bills offense enters the 2026 regular season needing to reallocate 82 targets from departed players, alongside an estimated increase to 510 total team pass attempts under Brady's offensive scheme.
"And, again, just continue to work on it and find ways that we can learn how to complement each other and just build that chemistry and camaraderie," said Allen.
