Overview

  • Claypool missed the entire 2024 season after tearing a ligament and tendon in his second toe during Buffalo’s August training camp.
  • He spent the past year rehabbing the injury and posted that he’s now the strongest and fastest he’s ever been.
  • The Bills released him with an injury settlement last summer, and he publicly thanked Josh Allen, Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane for their support.
  • A 2020 second-round pick by Pittsburgh, Claypool delivered back-to-back 800-yard receiving seasons before performance dips led to trades to Chicago and Miami.
  • At 26, he is actively campaigning for another opportunity by highlighting his recovery and readiness ahead of NFL training camps.
