    Could be a real draft find...


    Due diligence
    “Fish did extensive work on this guy,” said Bills GM Doug Whaley. “We were just so perplexed because when you looked at his height, weight, speed and movement skills they all screamed corner with a chance to play at the NFL level.”

    Fisher poured over film and talked to coaches trying to figure out why a player as physically gifted as Seymour wasn’t making the plays he was putting himself in position to make.

    “For him to be at USC and play a lot early only to see it reduced later, we knew there had to be a reason,” said Whaley. “Even when Fish talked to the coaching staff they said they loved him, but they just needed more production. So Kelvin Fisher did a lot of digging to uncover why Seymour wasn’t what his talent said he should be.”

      It is the annual crap sandwich fed to us by the front office.

      I am no longer biting.

        This isn't even J.D. Williams. Who at least had a little talent. This is Justin Rogers, Cary Harris, Kennard Cox, Kevin Thomas....I'm sure they all had nice Chris Brown write ups about what steals they were.

          If you read the article it is not that. He was playing at a high level with 20/60 vision in the USC defensive backfield? Easy problem to fix these days. This player will be one to watch in camp and may very well turn out to be a late round gem. Tip of the hat to the scout.

            He's a 6th round pick. And unless you think they completely made up the vision problems, it's at least an explanation for his inability to make plays on the ball.

            Kennard Cox and Kevin Thomas? And the other 2 didn't have Seymour's speed.

                    He could be blind in one eye and missing an arm, I look for predator dreads on a cb. It looks to me like this young man has a LOT of work ahead of him.

                      that was a terrible year for DBs. Only one Probowl cornerback in the whole draft. (Eric Davis, SF, who was nothing special)

                      But that draft was huge for RBs and LBers. just looking at the list of RB/FB and LBers the bills passed on to draft who they drafted in that draft makes me ill (carwell gardner in round 2? REALLY?! there was a ball catching FB the cards drafted that year named Larry Centers. THAT could have helped us a lot; Bryce Paup was a mid round LBer that year too). We could have won a superbowl at least once with a couple different picks that year.

                      My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.

                      MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!

                          Imagine that, USC has a College of Optometry.

                            I want to say about 6 months, though to be fair he could just get a weave after about 3 or do like I do and staple them to the scalp.
