First time poster. I've met Chris before - the last time was just a few days before the draft. I work with his mother Laurie and we talk quite a bit. She and Chris' father raised Chris well - he absolutely adores his mom and they talk almost daily.
Concerning the "character issues", I don't think you have a thing to worry about. Chris is a good kid. When Chris got in trouble, he simply made the mistake of not turning his head and walking away when the police were trying to arrest one of his fellow players. What can be called a 'character issue' could also be called 'loyalty to your own' - it just depends on what side of the coin you are on. I can tell you this much - he's no thug and neither are any of his friends. He's a very polite young man.
A little tidbit to throw out there. I was talking with Chris' mom today and she was telling me that Chris was supposed to be hang out at home until he goes back to Buffalo. After being home a day or two, he decided to go back to Tech so he could be in a place where he could work out the way he needs to work out. He did this because he wants to show up in much better shape than he was at the first mincamp.
I'm not a Bills fan so I doubt I'll check in often. However, if there is a question for Chris you would like me to ask, please have an admin send me an email and I'll see what I can do.
Good luck Bills fans.
