It was just three days and four practices, but if you ask any of Buffalo’s draft choices how significant the weekend rookie minicamp was for their development in getting accustomed to the way the Bills do things they were all in agreement.
“Invaluable,” said offensive lineman and sixth-round pick <nobr>Mark Asperhttp://www.buffalobills.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.buffalobills.com/team/roster/mark-asper/b911bb68-b835-42b7-920f-50f190dae91f/)</nobr>.
“It was a great experience I learned a lot,” said top pick <nobr>Stephon Gilmorehttp://www.buffalobills.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.buffalobills.com/team/roster/stephon-gilmore/82b07980-86af-44d2-b856-bdfbc41713d5/)</nobr>. “I learned a lot from (secondary) coach (George) Catavolos. He’s trying to teach me the plays and playing with good technique and I had a great camp.”
“It’s just a lot to grasp,” said offensive lineman and fifth-round pick <nobr>Zebrie Sandershttp://www.buffalobills.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.buffalobills.com/team/roster/zebrie-sanders/a91d45ff-ddbe-4d2d-8b45-1804b70442a4/)</nobr>. “It seemed like every day we were installing 20 or 30 new plays. I’m just trying to take it all in at one time and then learn what coach is trying to teach me. But I loved it. It was a great opportunity.”
“Installation was the hardest part,” said fourth-round pick <nobr>Ron Brookshttp://www.buffalobills.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.buffalobills.com/team/roster/ron-brooks/a1df0a31-0796-467a-8cb3-fa35fb989d04/)</nobr>. “I’ve been staying in my playbook though and slowly but surely I’m picking up on it.”
