Simonton Silences Thunder in Berlin
Ken Simonton continues to haunt the Berlin Thunder, the team that he scored four rushing TDs against in Week 1, gaining 174 all-purpose yards last weekend in the Claymores 34-17 win in Berlin. Simonton gained 140 yards on the ground and 34 yards from 3 receptions.
Long-snapper tops Bills' free agents
‘The player considered the best long-snapper in college football – as well as one of the most compelling human-interest stories – was among nine rookie free agents signed by the Buffalo Bills on Monday. Jon Dorenbos, a long-snapper from the University of Texas-El Paso, agreed to terms with the Bills, who have a need at that position. Tight end Jay Riemersma, who was released in February, was the long-snapper last season.’
Bills weren't 'tricked,' Rosenhaus says
‘He acknowledged Saturday that he placed calls to McGahee’s cell phone during the draft telecast to make it look like NFL teams were on the line with the running back.’
Bills add 10 free agents to mix
‘The Buffalo Bills signed 10 college free agents on Monday, including Arizona quarterback Jason Johnson and LSU wide receiver Jerel Myers.’
McGahee pick draws opinions
‘If defensive end Chris Kelsay had been picked in the first round and McGahee in the second round, instead of vice versa, most Buffalo fans who consider GM Tom Donahoe reckless for this move might be calling him a football genius.’
Bills know Drew's show
‘”We knew it was a Drew show,” Donahoe said. “We felt Willis McGahee wasn’t going to work out like a running back. The only thing he is going to do is jog straight ahead, lift some weights. We didn’t feel any need to see that. To be honest with you, I was shocked the nine teams went. What did they think they were going to see?”‘
Rogers grad goes to Bills
‘He woke up late Sunday afternoon when the phone rang. It was a call letting him know the Buffalo Bills were offering a free-agent contract. The contract arrived in the mail Monday afternoon and he’ll leave for Buffalo on Thursday.’
Willis McGahee says he can be another Emmitt Smith
‘Consider that he tore his anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments, three of the four that hold his left knee together. And the fourth, the lateral collateral, he blew out in 1999 when he was in high school.’
Undrafted Free Agent Bio: QB Jason Johnson
Two-year starter who was not afforded the luxury of operating behind a balanced offensive attack, as his teams did not have the featured running back the Wildcats were known for in the past
Undrafted Free Agent Bio: WR Paris Jackson
Tremendously improved from first year … No. 2 at split end (“X” receiver) … tall and athletic … runs 4.60 40.
Undrafted Free Agent Bio: Ken Hilliard
Possesses good size at 6-2 and 205 pounds… will be remembered for his game-saving interception in the late stages at Southern Miss, which propelled TCU into the galleryfurniture.com Bowl and, through a strange set of circumstances with the BCS rating system, helped Nebraska to a spot in the National Championship game vs. Miami.
