Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary is welcoming rookie Zack Moss with open arms to the team’s backfield in 2020.

One thing that certainly helps is that the two had already known each other prior to being Bills teammates, both are from Florida. But Singletary, while speaking to The Bills Wire’s Bradley Gelber via West Herr, said that he sees the potential one-two punch the pair could be, rather than some sort of head-to-head competition for playing time.

“Seeing that [the Bills’ draft pick] was Zack, it was exciting, to be honest,” “We’re both from South Florida, we’re both the same age, he just stayed a year longer in college. It’s really exciting. Us in the backfield together? That’s going to be problems [for defenses] I feel like, for sure,” Singletary said. “That’s the way I look at it. And then when you get somebody that’s good in the backfield with you, I’ve been in mostly backfields where I wasn’t the only back, that’s going to bring the best out of you and the best out of the team, and that’s what you want at the end of the day.”

Singletary certainly showed signs of fitting-in at the pro level. He reminded one of LeSean McCoy’s slick moves and his “cut on a dime” ability while carrying the ball. Moss will have to prove himself on the next level, but he did promise that defenders will have to make a “business decision” when tackling the noted physical runner.

Along with seeing the prospect of being a dynamic duo with Moss, Singletary added that he’s ready to step up in the running back room this season, too. Frank Gore is no longer with the team, so Singletary will be welcoming any chances to be a leader already in his young career.

“Having Frank was big for me, I was able to just able to just sit back and learn what he was doing on the field, off the field,” Singletary said. “I love Frank for that, that’s still my big dog to this day. Without him, going into this year, I feel like I’m ready. I feel like I learned everything I needed to learn from him and if anything, he’s a phone call away.”

While the Bills will have some more veteran rushers in TJ Yeldon and Taiwan Jones in their locker room, it’ll be Singletary taking the much bigger chunk of the workload out of Buffalo’s backfield in 2020.
