Bills sign FB Mike Viti, a one man army from Army!

According to WGR55, Mike can bench press 420, a devastating hitter and has muscles on top of muscles. Here's a tidbit on this kid. Could be a steal!

Very cool, I hope he works out. Would rather have him on our roster than over seas.

total brick sh@t house.

if he can be our fullback then that's great. imo fullbacks are a very low priority position, but if over the game he is brining hurt to LBs then late in the 4th when marshawn is running on full beast mode this guy will just be picking dudes off.

does anybody knowthe rules about this The Detroit Lions took a guy from Army also. They went to the Army Academy West Point, NY. Their soldiers first don't they have to finish out they're term of duty to the Army before they can play in the NFL.

I think I saw something about this on sports center. The army changed the requirements I think. Some people can have a reserve/ recruiting position instead. Not totally sure about this though

Nope, the rules are different now. If they get drafted or signed by a team, they have the right to pursue that option. Afterall, who would want to play for the military if they didn't let you go pro? I think they have to work as a recruiter in the offseason, though.

This might make up for the Schmitt miss

From Day1 he's a significant upgrade over Barnes/Evans

I think he is but if it's true the Bills told Viti he would be the only FB then I don't think he will be coming to B-lo.

I am not sure, but they don't have the same commitment loophole the Army does, at least I don't think they do.

In the past, athletes from West Point were required to serve five years of active duty in the military before they could begin their professional careers, but military rules have changed, and cadets with the ability to play sports professionally are now allowed to do so while helping out with recruiting efforts for two years.

Re: Bills sign FB Mike Viti, a one man army from Army!

it's only the Army that has the loop hole so anyone from the navy or airforce have to fullfill their duty to the service before playing football

I hope he aims for Wilforks knees and then claims he got pushed from behind.
