Scobey, 27, was a Bills fan growing up in Oklahoma City, Okla.
“I used to really like the Bills back in the day because Thurman Thomas was from Oklahoma [State],” Scobey said. “I was really a Bills fan. I watched every Super Bowl. . . . I didn’t really reflect on it until I walked into the stadium here on Monday. I’m like, wow, this is the stadium where they played the Comeback Game and where the snow would be piled up and where Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas and Cornelius Bennett played. I was a fan of that team.”
Unfortunately the last dream come true for a Bills fan who became a Bills RB (Travis Henry) did not go very well. I hope Thurman can give this guy some advice to take to heart about playing for the team.
Scobey said San Francisco, Seattle, Arizona, Tennessee and the New York Jets were among the other teams that contacted him this spring.
I am a little suprised he was signed for a one year deal at minimum salary. If he had four teams interested in him but maybe the others got there ST players via draft. I'd hate for Bills to spend the time to spin him into their plans and have him go to a new team next year.
