‘"With his friends surrounding him he didn’t have the best environment. He wasn’t behaving the way he was supposed to and I felt he was giving my mom too much of a headache," Bowen recalled. "Due to the fact that I had a light course load my senior year I figured I would take the headache for her."’

The Buffalo Bills invited him to their rookie camp for another tryout later this month.’
