Ellis Lankster

[ghz in pittsburgh]

He seems to be mentioned by Chris Brown a lot in thses OTAs and mini camp. Anyone knows anything about him?

I know in Pittsburgh Lebeau wanted him on draft day as a late round pick.

he's a short 5' 9" CB

he'll have to make a big impression in preseason

I think I remember him being a smallish (5' 9" 185 lbs?), quick playmaker out of West Virginia. Despite his size, he projects at Safety as well as CB.

since when have the Bills had a problem with 5'9" CBs? McKelvi's 5'10", McGee 5'9", Corner 5'9"- the only non-rookie that's over 6' is Florence and we just signed him.

He has been written about a lot by Brown as is Ashlee Palmer. Might have to keep an eye on these guys. Definite PS guys I would say.

What I like about having Palmer, Bowen, Harris is that these guys seem like they can be solid backups where as Corto and Costanzo are strictly Special teams. I guess we will see in the preseason.

Lankster is probably doomed to be a victim of numbers with the Bills. He may make the PS, but it LeBeau knows about him, other DCs around the league probably do too. When the injury bug starts to bite some teams, he's probably going to get claimed unless the injury bites Buffal first. Maybe he'll sprain a finger and go on IR.

practice squad let harris and ellis develop there so when youboty, mcgee walk we have reinforcements
