Undrafted Free Agents

[DraftBoy]

Everything will be unofficial until the team announced it but here is what is being reported.


RB Jordan Johnson - Buffalo

[DraftBoy]

TE Jason Croom - Tennessee

- - - Updated - - -

CB Marcus Sayles - West Georgia

[DraftBoy]

TE Keith Towbridge - Louisville

[TigerJ]

Jordan Johnson started out his college career as a QB. I measureables are underwhelming at best, but the QB background raises the potential for trick plays.

[DraftBoy]

WR Brandon Reilly - Nebraska

Jordan Johnson started out his college career as a QB. I measureables are underwhelming at best, but the QB background raises the potential for trick plays.My bad. Different player, different school, different year - same name.

[TigerJ]

Keith Towbridge has good size and strength, but he sounds like maybe a two year project before you'd want to let him on the field. Route running and blocking both need plenty of work.

Jeremy Tyler S, West Virginia.

[ParanoidAndroid]

WR Brandon Reilly - Nebraska

The second best undrafted WR from Nebraska.

[TacklingDummy]

Not understanding thread, is this all the undrafted the Bills have signed?

If so, can they sign Artavis Scott, WR, Clemson and Storm Norton, OT, Toledo , please.

[SpikedLemonade]

WTF?

No OL yet?

I was joking about it before the draft in the "Who do you think the Bills will take" threads, but Rehkow was the highest rated punter in the draft. This is a very good signing.

This puts the roster size at 93, which is 3 over the maximum allowed for training camp.

[Manwiththeplan]

CB Marcus Sayles could turn into a decent player.

"Marcus Sayles impressed in the weight room with a 40-in vertical jump, and an 11-foot broad jump. On the field, Sayles continued to impress as he clocked a 4.49 time in the 40-yard dash and impressed the scouts in drills."
The cornerback put together quite the successful career at West Georgia (http://www.uwgsports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4047). The team's website noted that Sayles started in 46-of-47 games in his four-year career. He recorded 12 interceptions in four seasons, including a career-high five interceptions this season, with 36 passes defensed. He also holds the team's record for kick blocks with 13.

[Manwiththeplan]

Highlights on Marcus Sayles. kids a gamer.

13 blocked kicks. That's just nuts.

[Manwiththeplan]

Watch the vid, he actually caught one or two that he blocked.

[TigerJ]

I saw an article today (I forget where) that made the point that the Patriots somehow manage to sign some of the best undrafted free agents who come out each year. It is not some alleged genius on the part of New England's management. It is the fact that these kids can go wherever they want (as long as they get an offer) will gravitate to a winner. That being the case, it might be wise for Buffalo's future GM to keep a close eye on the waiver wire come early September for New England cuts.

It's not just NE waivers we should be looking for.....ANY team routinely better than us we should look at....Sea, Pitt, Dall.....and right now, if St Mary's school for the Blind puts someone on the damn waiver wire - we should be looking at them.........!!

[Albany,n.y.]

The draft choices don't count against the roster limit until they sign a contract, so the last 2 signees will require cuts, but not until they're signed.

If OL Jac'Que Polite makes the team, I am definitely buying his jersey.

[Cali512]

I don't know about the OL but I can definitely see Reilly and Sayles sticking

Btw, the DL look pathetic. The SC guy has the worst balance and softess body I ever seen

Article on UDFA OT Zach Voytek:
http://www.ctpost.com/sports/article/Trumbull-s-Voytek-effective-physical-11119385.php


Zach Voytek possesses many of the traits that coaches look for in an offensive lineman. He’s tough, fearless, has good size and plays with a mean streak. Just don’t call him athletic.

“I’m not as athletic as most (linemen), so I kind of had to take a different approach to compensate for that,” Voytek said Wednesday. “I’m very physical. I’m a technician.”

Though Voytek wasn’t always the fastest or most agile lineman on the field during his four years at the University of New Haven, he was often the most effective. That fact stood out to the Buffalo Bills, who signed the 6-foot-5, 315-pounder from Trumbull as an undrafted free agent on Monday.

Doesn't sound like he has the feet to be on the outside.

Probably, but they may take a look at RT if his technique is really good.

Sounds like he can simply be ran around on out at T.
