The Buffalo Bills rookies, in town for mini-camp, were taken on a tour of the city today. And most agreed, there is more to the city than its snowy reputation.
The Bills rookies boarded a bus at One Bills Drive this morning, and set out for downtown Buffalo. The Leadership Buffalo organization led the tour of the city. Local architect Paul McDonnell talked to the new recruits about Buffalo's rich history and it's promising future.
The team checked out the waterfront, City Hall, and made a stop at New Era Cap Company where each rookie was treated to a hat. "I'm going to go with the Buffalo hat, you know, support the city," said Paul Posluszny from Penn State.
Stanford Quarterback Trent Edwards said he was looking for either a Sabres or Dodgers hat. "I'm from the San Jose area, so the Sharks already lost to the Red Wings last series. So now the Sabres are my team." But he admits it isn't going to be easy for the Sabres. He says he's looking forward to getting to know the people and getting involved in the community.
Stacey Thomas from Texas Southern was enjoying the tour. "I believe it's a good idea to give us a chance to see what the city is all about. I did hear some good things about Buffalo.
