I've always liked him. I was sad to see him go. I hope he continues to do well in Atlanta. :)

I liked him too. I was sad when we got rid of him.

It would have been nicer for him to come back to Buffalo but it's nice to see him stick somewhere. Maybe there's a chance he could be back someday. He was a class player. I remember when a Chargers CB took a shot at RJ going out of bounds and Keion was the only one who stepped up to get in the guy's face.
