Bills sign fourth-round pick Johnson
‘“He’s tough. He tackles which seems like is a lost art for a lot of DBs… corners in particular in this league,” said McDermott. “So, that’s something we look for. Had an opportunity to be around him at the Senior Bowl, and I was impressed.”’
Josh Allen gets surprise visit from Jim Kelly
‘“It was the morning after the draft. He just said, ‘Welcome to Buffalo. I love the way you play.’ We texted a few times,” said Allen. “We got off to a healthy relationship.

‘“You’ll see him out here commanding the huddle,” said McDermott of Edmunds. “That’s a big part of the evaluation. A guy who is a signal caller and whether he can come in and have great command of the huddle on the defensive side in this case for Tremaine and then execute at a high level.”’

Bills Rookie Minicamp: CB Levi Wallace knows about beating the odds
‘”There were about 60 of us,” Wallace said. “The first thing we did was run four laps around the field. I remember that. I won those four laps. That cut like half the people down. After that there was a bunch of drills. After that, they called the names. You’re on the team, but you can always get cut up until summer time.”‘
New Bills linebacker/defensive end Trent Murphy’s home gym is insane
‘”There’s something about where you lay your head at night and being able to go into the next room and get extra work any time you need it.

Buffalo Bills rookie camp 2018: Josh Allen, undrafted gems among 10 things to watch
‘The clock starts ticking on Josh Allen’s development the moment he steps on the field Friday. Maybe that seems dramatic, but it’s also the way the NFL works. Allen doesn’t have to come out and throw the ball all over New Era Field to make rookie camp a success, but this is the first legitimate look at him on the field. Can he be accurate in this no-contact setting? How does his footwork look? Can he command the huddle and jump into his role as a leader? Those are all little things to start, but it will all give us an idea of how ready he is to be on the field as a rookie.’
Bucky Brooks names Buffalo Bills LB Tremaine Edmunds to projected All-Rookie Team

Buffalo Bills LB Tremaine Edmunds picked to win DROY by ESPN NFL Insider
‘There will be plenty of competition for the award, but Edmunds finds himself in a great situation with the Bills. The linebacker is expected to be a day one starter in Buffalo, most likely replacing middle linebacker Preston Brown. Last season, Brown finished first in the league in total tackles (144). Edmunds could be a three-down linebacker in year one which would give him the chance to finish with 100-plus tackles as a rookie. The total number of impact plays that Edmunds makes could be the deciding factor in whether or not he wins the award.’

5 things to watch for in 2018 Buffalo Bills rookie minicamp
‘The title is purely in jest, but this will be the first chance the Bills get to see his arm in person as a member of their franchise — after spending the last several months thinking about how to get him on the team by way of a trade on draft day. We’ll see him uncork a deep pass or two, but I’m more interested in the timing of his throws with some of his new receivers. Now, many of those players will not be the players he’s throwing to when he actually gets his first chance to play in a regular season game, but the point remains.’
