‘"He is a big, long corner that can run and has a great feel for the game. He did a very good job during the weekend," Gailey said.’

”’I’ve been through a lot,” he said. ”My family’s ups and downs have helped me get to this point, built me.”’

‘Polian will become the 28th member placed on the wall that rings Ralph Wilson Stadium. The Bills have not yet selected when Polian will be honored.’

‘The North Carolina State WR said, “It’s pretty fun. I had a lot of fun competing, putting on a uniform, coming out and playing. The hardest thing was kind of figuring out the concepts. There are really a lot of different playbooks. Coming out trying to learn on the fly was pretty tough but it was pretty fun just getting out and finally playing football because the last couple of months have been kind of tough just training, training and training. So it’s fun to finally get to football, the game that you love.” As far as what he has to do first Graham said, “Learn the playbook. I’m a perfectionist so I like to be perfect. I’m harder on myself more than anybody else. Learn the plays. I know I can run and do everything else so learning the plays would be the toughest thing so that’s my goal.”‘

‘”You can watch ’em run and jump and change direction but you don’t know their mental capacity, that’s the one thing you don’t know off film,” he said. “So you’re trying to get a good gauge of that going into this weekend.”‘

‘”Honestly I’m just out here trying to help this team out and compete,” he said. “I wouldn’t put anything into it.”‘

‘One of the main keys for Gailey was to see how much information the young players could retain in a short period of time. “You can watch them run, jump, and change direction but you don’t know their mental capacity. That’s the one thing you don’t know off film, so you’re trying to get a good gauge of that going into this weekend.”‘

‘While some of the rookies admitted having some nerves during their first NFL practices, Gilmore was confident in his ability. “I always play with confidence, you can’t be a corner unless you play with confidence, so I think that comes with me and if I just keep learning the sky is the limit.”‘

‘”Great effort,” said Gailey. “We got to see some guys run around and tried to retain what we had taught them for three days. It was very good work, in my opinion, it was very good work. We were able to get outside all three days and we were able to get a lot accomplished.”‘

‘We had great effort. We got to see some guys run around and try to retain what we had taught them for three days. It was very good work in my opinion. We were able to get outside all three days and we were able to get a lot accomplished.’

‘”I’m trying to pick up as much as I can and learn the offense as best as I can,” said Tanney. “There are other guys who have had success lately from smaller schools. Teams are starting to look at the lower-level guys now and all I’ve ever wanted is an opportunity to come to camp and compete.”‘

‘”Just being in the facility and being able to go out on the practice field with all the other guys has been great,” said Clark following his first practice with the Bills’ rookies on Friday afternoon.’

‘"We didn’t expect it to blow up. It was just me and my buddies having some fun after working out," Tanney said.’

‘The pressure is on everyone to start measuring up, and it begins with the starting quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick.’

‘”I can’t tell you how excited I am,” Polian said. “I told Mr. Wilson I really couldn’t find words adequate to express my gratitude and happiness. It’s a milestone in my life and a milestone in the life of my family. … I have such a warm spot in my heart for Buffalo and all the friends we made there and all the wonderful times we had there. It’s just marvelous to come back and have this opportunity.”‘
