A quote from Journal 6

I flew out to Colorado Monday, (March 7, 2011). I was nervous but I tried to keep my mind preoccupied. When I arrived to Colorado the weather was not suitable for pro day conditions my teammates informed me that our pro day would be held inside. Tuesday I arrived at UNC trying to keep my sprits high despite the weather conditions. The Titans, Bills and Broncos were in attendance. I felt I had a solid day my measurements 6’03 221lbs, 22 reps bench, 35.5 vertical, 9.10 BJ. We ran our 40 and preformed agility drills, on hardwood floors, not the ideal surface to run and cut on but l did my best. I ran a 4.62 40, 4.19 shuttle, 6.99 for three cone. We were unable to do position drills because of the weather but scouts were still interested so they helped me to get into the Air Force pro day the following Monday.

I stayed the next week in Colorado, because my agent and the scouts from Bills and Broncos were able to get me into the Air Force pro day. All I could do was watch ESPN about the NFL lockout. The NFLPA and owners were unable to come to an agreement, which means no free agency to ensure a spot in the league you would have to be drafted. This put even more pressure on me to produce draftable numbers at Air Force’s Pro Day. Football is all I know and this lock out it really made me question my future.

Monday came and I was nervous but ready to perform. I was very thankful for the second opportunity to show the scouts what I could do. Nine NFL teams where in attendance, including the Bills, Titans, Broncos, Browns, Giants, Jets, Colts, Saints and Packers. I improved all of my numbers and ran a faster forty, 4.50.

Is it mandatory that the Bills waste a late rd. draft pick on these type of rb's ?
This years Omon.
Go ahead look at the last half dozen drafts.

Good stuff. If they are looking at a later rd rb I hope they take a long look at Allen Bradford.

Undrafted FA, DB? We do need a 3rd RB, but that's where I'd like to get one...after the draft is over.

Re: Bills Showing Heavy Interest in RB

The guy went to Northern Colorado & says all he knows is Football? That is just sad. He should have taken advantage to the opportunity provided him & learned something in school.

Re: Bills Showing Heavy Interest in RB

This guy is dripping with the ingredients to be our next sleeper pick, "we are smarter then every other team".

Re: Bills Showing Heavy Interest in RB

the bills draft like the way my wife shops for clothes. She always is excited by the stuff she gets, but it suscpiciously looks like stuff she already has in the closet that she no longer likes.

whereas, i go and get stuff that i need. like the other teams in the draft who seem to get to the playoffs once every 10-15 years or so.

More than likely, kid has talent there is no doubt in that.

And before somebody asks the usual question "well if he had so much talent, why did he end up at a FCS school?" its because of his grades he failed to qualify. But to give you an idea of what caliber schools wanted him;

Missouri
Boston College
Wisconsin
Cal
Kansas State
Minnesota
Oregon

All had high interest in the kid coming out of JUCO.

He's just what Gailey's spread offense philosophy needs - another running back.

I hope the bills are also keeping a closer look at the army's janitor as well. I'm liking that the bills are leaving no stones unturned

Re: Bills Showing Heavy Interest in RB

I got no prob spending a late rounder on a RB

We'll carry 3 anyway might as well be someone decent

Re: Bills Showing Heavy Interest in RB

Re: Bills Showing Heavy Interest in RB

Ill admit that I've never seen this kid play, but by looking at his 2010 Highlights, he looks like the product of an overpowering O-Line. The guy doesn't seem to make many plays by himself, besides the occasional broken tackle by power, which I have doubts he will be able to do in the NFL.Another thing that bothers me is his tendency to stretch out the ball for extra yardage. I don't like his odds against an NFL LB when he lays out his arm unprotected.. of course thats something coaches would have to remedy.From what I've seen... No thanks
