"The tour guide made an honest statement about Buffalo’s weather about 15 minutes into the tour of Western New York that the Buffalo Bills’ rookies took Tuesday.
“We only have two months of really hot weather,” guide Stacey Watson told the 18 Bills players on the bus.
“What?” linebacker Alvin Bowen, a fifth-round pick, bellowed. “I’m going to block that comment out.”
A few chuckles ensued, and a few minutes later Watson informed the players, “Buffalo has some of the best architecture of any city in the country.”
“Better than New Jersey?” said Bowen, who played at Iowa State and grew up in East Orange, N. J.
Yes, Alvin, even better than New Jersey. "
.....
“Niagara Falls was probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, honestly,” said cornerback Reggie Corner, a fourth-round draft pick. “I’ve never been there before. It’s somewhere I’d definitely want to go back in the future and bring my family.”
“It was a real calm spot where you can rest your mind and get away from things,” said cornerback Kennard Cox, a seventh-round pick.
“As soon as I got drafted, people were telling me I’ve got to buy a lot of thermals and get prepared for the cold weather,” said first-round draft pick Leodis McKelvin, a Georgia native.
“I’ve never played in snow. Probably the low 60s is the coldest game I’ve ever played in. . . . But it didn’t matter to me. Wherever I went I was going to adapt to it, and I’ll adapt to Buffalo.”
“When I first heard Buffalo, all I thought about was weather and cold,” said receiver Steve Johnson, a seventh-round pick out of Kentucky and a San Francisco native. “But I see it’s like every other city. San Francisco has special things about it. Lexington [Ky.] has special things — the Bluegrass State. Now that I’ve taken this tour, I see Buffalo has its own character.”
