'Seymour was recruited to USC as both a receiver and a cornerback, so he had good hands. He was a good-sized corner at six-foot and he could outleap most wideouts with his 35-inch vertical.

'There’s a lot of reason for optimism at One Bills Drive, and it just comes down to execution. A list of five players that, if they get more from than what they did a year ago, can help change the year for the better…'.

'He has since had surgery to repair the injury, and believes he'll be fully cleared and ready for the start of training camp at the end of July. Listenbee joins fellow sixth-round pick and cornerback Kevon Seymour as the only two Bills players to sign their rookie contracts.'
