I admit I didn't know a lot about the kid, but here's an article about him that intrigues me.
He's not going to start, or play nickel this year, or maybe ever, but the article says he ran a 4.3 at his pro day and was all-American return man in junior college. In addition to his impressive play in the OTAs and mini-camp, his return ability makes him a potentially valuable role player for the Bills. The Bills have Parrish, who returns punts, and it looks like the Billis are going to keep him this season at least, despite his discontent at his limited opportunity at WR. The Bills have McGee and McKelvin who are both outstanding kickoff returners, but they are both starting CBs too. If Lankster proves that he can be a great kickoff returner, I'll bet the Bills will be happier than a fox in a henhouse.
