From AP:

Receiver Antonio Brown, who spent last season playing in the Canadian Football League, signed with the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday.

Brown played college at West Virginia where, as a junior in 2000, he led the school with 51 receptions for 877 yards. Last season, Brown had 14 catches for 208 yards and two touchdowns with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Worth a look because of his speed. Someone mentioned he runs a 4.18 40. Of course this is most likely on a track, in 65 degree sunny weather, with the wind at his back, downhill, with the perfect shoes, and with someone chasing him with a bat on a moped . . .

Most likely just camp fodder. Possible special teams as a return guy.

He could be a threat to break the sound barrier. I hope he proves to have some other things going for him, hands, route running, return ability.

He ran that time at WV, and I'm sure the conditions were very good. He is really fast, though. Unfortunately, catching like 14 passes in the pass-crazy CFL doesn't say much about his route-running or hands.

It's quite odd to see an NFL team sign someone who was pretty much a no show in the stats column. Especially if they are coming from one of the various "farm" leagues.
