He better be. This may be his last chance.

And that's the part he didn't talk about, in the few minutes I saw. He's recently realized that he loves playing the game but if he also realizes that this may be his last chance to do it, he might just make it.

Who was the last one who was decent? Jeff Burris?

As far as I recall, yes. And that was nearly 30 years ago. I think the Bills have had a handful of 3rd stringers/ST guys from ND but Burris was the last significant ND player to go to the Bills.

As a side note, I went to the home opener in I believe 2005. After the game, we were hanging out by the player lot hoping for autographs, which didn’t happen. Burris was there. I didn’t recognize him but others did and were calling out to him, so I figured out who he was quickly. I had just gotten my ND leprechaun tat on my calf earlier that summer. I’m sure it would have gotten me a pic and autograph from him, but I chickened out and didn’t say anything.

Considering he had signed with the CFL prior to the Bills pulling him off of the scrap heap, you are 100% correct sir

It's rather obvious WHY "Claypool is on a mission". As I already pointed out....

Claypool taking Diggs' #14 is a bad ass move. I LOVE IT!!

It's all up to Claypool on whether he goes down as a bust or responds to the well deserved criticism and realizes his potential.

I will not underestimate the power of being humiliated with the chance to redeem yourself. The risk of signing him are almost nil, with the upside considerable.

Claypool has been "humiliated" That is a pretty strong incentive. It's up to him to vindicate himself.

I certainly hope he does to the Bills benefit.

He’s actually Canadian- from BC. But I doubt that’s why he was in the CFL. Probably has more to go with a lack of NFL options at the time…
