26CornerBlitz Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Bills Focus: Rookies Making Major Contributions The Bills rookie class, whether drafted or acquired through free agency, have made huge contributions on the field so far this year, and they're making the future look pretty bright for this young Bills team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Yeah this might go down as one of the best rookie classes in team history... EJ, Woods, Alonso, Goodwin, and Robey are all major contributors and good players already that are only going to get better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Alonso has been a home run. Woods has been a solid contributor. Goodwin has contributed as well. If Manuel develops, this draft class could be the best class we've had since Nate Clements-Aaron Schoebel-Travis Henry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I thought it took 3 years to evaluate a rookie? I could understand 2 years but not less than 1 season. They've played well in spots, but pronouncing them the best draft class is premature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpan Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I got $ that says Duke Williams is a future baller in the Pettine system. Based on what? I'm not trying to be a smart A**, but I dont think Ive seen him make more than 1 or 2 special teams tackles all year. And when he did, I went "who the F is Duke WIlliams?!?!?!" Then I looked it up and remember we drafted him lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l< j Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Alonso might be the best MLB in the NFL by years end We'll all be smiling when these guys climb the podium after the Super Bowl so Goodell can present them the Kiko Alonso Trophy.

Spiderweb Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I got $ that says Duke Williams is a future baller in the Pettine system. That may be a more than just a bit of a reach, but one thing is certain, Pettine's system and a position change has made Aaron Williams one.

filthymcnasty08 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Based on what? I'm not trying to be a smart A**, but I dont think Ive seen him make more than 1 or 2 special teams tackles all year. And when he did, I went "who the F is Duke WIlliams?!?!?!" Then I looked it up and remember we drafted him lol. Eh….was nothing more than a hunch…..loved the draft pick - he played the position nasty in college…..saw a future enforcer out there. Let us not forget where our collective psyche was around the draft - porous, horrible WANNY defense that was soft up the middle. Basically I'm pulling for the kid okay! ;-) Taking nothing away from A Will who is, to me, the biggest surprise of the season.

I also think Duke Williams will become a big contributor, but I wasn't expecting him to be an instant impact. Give him a couple of years, and I think he will turn out to be a very good player.
