My favorite part: Dockery says he is thrilled to be in Buffalo.
“When you think about the fans and the tradition, they’re crazy about the team here,” he said. “You want to go [to] a place where football is king.”
Even though he grew up in Dallas, Dockery insists — and his father backs him up on it — that he was rooting for the Bills in Super Bowls XXVII and XXVIII.
“I was never a Cowboys fan,” he said. “My whole family was Cowboys fans except for me and my grandfather. . . . I was rooting for the Bills when they played the Giants. Then when they played the Cowboys I was like, I’ve got to root for the Bills again. I always rooted for Thurman Thomas, Jim Kelly, (Darryl) Talley, Bruce (Smith).”



Its also a great read about the type of player and person Dockery is and once again I think we have brought in another great character guy, nice work Marv

That's like me saying I'm from Cheektowaga, not Buffalo. Citing the major city is more recognizable and gives people a better frame of reference geographically.

Trailer parks compared to sky scrapers.
