Bills sign UDFA WR Tony Brown from Tennessee

by

WBIR- TV in Knoxville is reporting that the Buffalo Bills have signed undrafted free agent WR Tony Brown from the University of Tennessee. The Bills have had success with WRs from the Volunteers, the last being Peerless Price drafted in 1999. Last season, 3 Volunteers signed as UDFA's with Buffalo and made the team- CB Jabari Greer, FS Rashad Baker, and DE Constantine Ritzman.

Should get a look late due to his measurables...Traditionally the Vols have sent some good receivers to the NFL (Carl Pickens, Peerless Price, etc.) so this is an interesting guy to keep an eye on as a sleeper.

Strengths: Has a nice combination of size and speed...Does a nice job on the short routes...Isn't afraid to go over the middle and do the dirty work...Is a solid athlete...Has been productive...Is a team leader and captain.

Weaknesses: Is not an explosive playmaker who will hurt you downfield...Does not run great routes...Needs to do a better job as a blocker...Upside it probably limited to that of a posession guy at the next level...Doesn't always play up to his physical tools.

Notes: Should get a look late due to his measurables...Traditionally the Vols have sent some good receivers to the NFL (Carl Pickens, Peerless Price, etc.) so this is an interesting guy to keep an eye on as a sleeper.
