Im gonna try to do one of these every day leading up to the draft, just to give you guys a little better look at the players the bills may be looking at:
Stats:
HEIGHT: 6-3
WEIGHT: 298
HOMETOWN: Sanford, FL
Thoughts on Faine:
Football Expert Mel Kiper Jr. on Faine:
"Jeff Faine has been a standout thus far. In fact, you would be hard-pressed to find a better interior lineman in the entire nation. He has All-American written all over him."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NBC Commentator Pat Haden on Faine:
"Good offenses generally have good leaders on the offensive line and Faine is a great leader. Faine was considered one of the top centers in the country heading into this season and he's done nothing to dispel that notion."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notre Dame head coach Tyrone Willingham on Faine:
"Jeff is in a class by himself. There are not many players that play the game at the level Jeff does. In some regards, he's a throwback to some of the really tough guys that played the game when there was no facemask. He plays the game with that kind of mentality and its a great way to play. I wish we could have more guys play that way, but that's what makes him special, because most guys cannot play like that."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Wagner of the Capital Gazette on Faine:
"Jeff is the only guy I have seen dominate (Maryland's) E.J. Henderson like that. He looks like he is definitely one of the best linemen in all the country on either side of the ball."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Notes:
"Faine to be only the 3rd center in the last ten years (Damien Woody 1999, Steve Everitt 1993) to make the 1st round. "
"Has sky rocketed up Mel Keilpler's Draft Board from the 23rd spot all the way up to the 13th overall spot in the past two weeks"
