Bills work out Kyle Eckel (Fullback)

Aaron Wilson of Ravens Insider reports that the Bills worked out Kyle Eckel (fullback) today. The Bills really do hate issuing press releases to the media.

ANyway, Eckel has played for the Patriots (twice), Miami, Philly and New Orleans during his career. He's 28.

He may have grown up, but he was a bad kid in college.. Got expelled from Navy because of alleged alcohol incidents, among other no-no's (including a female encounter)

Re: Kyle Eckel

Excellent article from Boston.com about some of Eckel's trangressions while in college.

Sounds like he's grown up though.

If it means getting McIntyre off this team I find it exciting.

Re: Kyle Eckel

If he can actually open a hole unlike McIntyre I'm all for him.

Can't hurt to look.

Re: Kyle Eckel

All McIntyre could open was his fly. Allegedly.

Sex and booze in college? What a degenerate!

Agreed.. However. not to many athletes get EXPELLED from the Navy.

Re: Kyle Eckel

Has to be better than McIntyre! I'm fine with him here.

yeah, the article definitely makes it sound a little more serious than that.

But sounds like he's been around the league for a few years without any incidents, so maybe he grew up.

My bigger concern is that he's a FB. In the past, the Bills have wasted roster spots on FB's they never used.
