A Bills fan from the Stadium Wall was at the Trading Card Show.

As a representative from Players Inc said, “If his playing ability is anything like his personality, Mike Williams is certain to be a Hall of Famer.”

Don’t think that pack bustin? isn’t for the players. Josh Reed (WR, Buffalo Bills) couldn’t get enough. He was digging through boxes for cards of his college teammates. A smile spread across his face when he pulled a Josh Booty Rookie Card.

‘"I think I’m up to the challenge," Prioleau said after the Bills completed their four-day minicamp Thursday. "I like the competition. It brings the best out of all of us. It makes us continue to push ourselves and work hard. Anybody that turns down a little competition doesn’t really want to play."’

‘"There’s a lot of work to be done before the end of training camp. But this is a starting point. This is what these four days were all about."’

‘"It would’ve been easy to say the heck with it, but we played hard with the exception of one or two games. But with more material to work with, some breaks on injuries, I think he’s going to be a very good coach."’

‘Center and left tackle are the big question marks.’

‘Jonas Jennings appears to be getting more comfortable at center. He took all of his snaps there this camp, although there is a chance he could see some time at left tackle.’

The Bills concluded their four-day off-season camp with a 90-minute workout on Thursday. The team will break until early June when they plan to workout eight more times from June 4-7 and June 10-13 before the early group reports to training camp on July 24.

‘"I thought it was very productive, as far as understanding tempo and systems," [Greg Williams] said. "There’s still a long way to go. There’s a lot of youth to the team, and when you have that many unrestricted free agents, we have to get to know one another."’

Tickets for the general public will be available beginning on Friday, May 31 at all Tops Friendly Markets locations and will be limited to four per person.

Bledsoe: I love Buffalo. It's been really a pleasant surprise for us. The people in Buffalo have welcomed us with open arms.

Bledsoe: I think that the offense we are running with Kevin Gilbride is probably about as good as it gets for me.

‘Second-year pros Marques Sullivan and Kris Farris also will compete for the job, but Teague’s experience should give him the edge.’

‘Playing under his third coordinator in as many years, and with his fourth starting quarterback in four seasons, Price has a chance to realize the untapped potential he claims is inside him.’

‘While career receiving leader Andre Reed played 11 of his 15 seasons in Buffalo with one quarterback (Jim Kelly) and a couple of offensive coordinators, Moulds is starting over with his sixth starting quarterback and fifth coordinator.’

‘Financial details of the agreement were not immediately available because the deal is not signed, but the extension will run through the 2003 season. Without the new deal, Centers would have been eligible for unrestricted free agency next spring.’

‘"The most important thing you can have as a quarterback is to know you’re protected on your blind side," said Bledsoe, the Bills’ new marquee player. "There’s no question that having Trey over there with some experience is important. He has been effective against NFL pass rushers."’
