    Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson has primarily been working as the slot receiver in training camp according to Mark Gaughan of the Buffalo News.

    This a big change for the Bills' No.1 wideout. Johnson worked almost exclusively at the outside, X-receiver spot, in catching more than 1,000-yards in passes each of the past three seasons. But the Bills have more depth at the receiver position this season, allowing Johnson to make the move inside where his separation ability could be a huge asset to the passing game.

    "It's easy money,â€￾ says Johnson, because he has more room to go in either direction from the slot. "I got talent around me, you know? I''m not stupid to the fact we've got burners. We've got guys who can run and stretch the defense.â€￾
