The club signed DE Jamie Blatnick, LB Kourtnei Brown, K Chris Koepplin, P Brian Stahovich and FB Frank Summers. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-2/Bills-sign-five-tryout-players-after-minicamp/f65051ed-6224-496f-8407-a7a6103219ca

Courtney Brown was one of the worst first picks of the draft in recent memory.

Probably why this guy spells his christian name a lot differently. ;)

DB, you got anything on Brown?
Seems to have decent size for a LB.

Was a ST guy at Clemson. He's a massive kid with great athleticism, 6'4, 240 and runs sub 4.6 (or did). Was a huge coup for Clemson signing him out of Charlotte, NC as a 4 star WLB. Was a DE in HS and moved to stand up OLB in college then back to DE. Really lacked a lot of functional strength coming out of HS, was 6'5, 220.

Pro Day Numbers:
6'4, 256 lbs.
4.69 40
2.72 20 Yd Split
1.72 10 Yd Split
26 Bench Reps
31" Vertical
09'08" Broad Jump
4.47 20 Yd Shuttle
7.44 3 Cone

Lot's of people thought coming out he could become a late bloomer, was ranked as a Top 20 DE by NFL Draft Scout coming into last years draft. Not a bad addition if he can finally put it all together as a 34 OLB.

Cheers for that. With our current LBers, he might just have a chance to sneak onto the roster, especially if he's a good STs player.

No, no he can't, and when was the last time you saw Woodley play the 3 tech?
