Bills bring in Arizona QB, nine others
By Shout! staff
Date: Apr 28, 2003
The Bills agreed to terms with 10 undrafted college free agents. They didn't disclose terms, and if the players don't pass their physicals when they arrive in Buffalo, the team won't sign them. Here's what the MySportsDaily 2003 Guide compiled by Frank Cooney says in scouting reports about each.
Gary Byrd
Offensive Tackle
Clemson University Tigers
6:04.1-314
Stone Mountain, Georgia
ANALYSIS
Positives...Has a strong, thick frame with good foot balance, impressive strength and quickness out of his stance...Physical athlete who will attack when delivering the cut block...Has the lateral kick slide to quickly redirect...Agile moving to the second level and delivers a strong hand punch coming out of his stance...Locks on with force when using his hands...Can punch and slide while maintaining his speed heading upfield...Very quick to pick up stunts and blitzes...Plays on his feet and is best at incline blocking...Has a good kick step to protect the edge vs. the speed rush... Muscle-&-mauler type who has a good feel for blocking angles.
Negatives...Gets too upright in his stance, causing him to lose leverage...Seems a little too stiff in his stance and tends to waist bend...Has lateral problems moving from his left to right...Has strong hands, but keeps his arms too low to generate good punch and jolt technique...Best when drive blocking straight ahead, as he struggles when called upon to work in space.
