'Tyrod Taylor may progress into the franchise quarterback Buffalo has been seeking for decades now, but there’s nothing precluded the Bills from taking more shots at the dartboard in the meantime.'

'The speed. The swagger. It's not rooted in bluster. Two days after the draft, Listenbee starts a conversation by repeating he's not arrogant. Rather, he was being honest. A lot of work was put in, a lot of work lies ahead and it all feeds an inner-belief that he can roast any defensive back any play any day.'

'"[The Bills" target="_blank"> think I'm a great blitzer, they think I can move well in space, and do a lot of things. I'm a pretty simple guy. Wherever the coaches play me, wherever they think I fit to help the team win, I'm happy to play. If they decide to move me around, I'll pretty much do whatever.
