‘Wide receiver, quarterback, cornerback, interior offensive line, defensive end and tight end will be the positions of interest for Donahoe, assistant GM Tom Modrak, head coach Mike Mularkey and the rest of the Bills’ assistant coaches and scouting department when they evaluate the 337 college players at the annual NFL Scouting Combine in the RCA Dome.’

Winfield tests market; Clarett won’t work out
‘”We still would like to sign him, and we have made that clear,” Donahoe said. “But one thing we did remind them is that when free agency starts for Antoine, it starts for the Buffalo Bills. We have to make sure that we prepare ourselves and help our team and that’s what we’re going to try to do.”‘
Ex-Bengal Wyche back in game
“This was a flat-out pity hire,” said Wyche, who never lost the will to crack a joke. “I was with Mike Mularkey at a golf tournament in Memphis and I wouldn’t let go of his leg. He was dragging me around and I was begging him. It worked out.

‘”Besides being a good football coach, he cares about people,” Mularkey said. “I’m glad to have him back.”‘
Getting Henson may be costly
Donahoe and new Buffalo QB coach Sam Wyche said Henson’s workout last week was impressive. Donahoe didn’t say whether his team would bring Henson in for a workout, but the Bills and Green Bay each brought in at least five coaches and/or personnel people to look at Henson.
Henson, who scored a staggeringly high 42 on the Wunderlich aptitude exam, also impressed Wyche with how much he retained after being away from the game for three years. The two talked after Henson’s workout.
"He’s a coach’s son, so you know that he understands a lot of this stuff from way back," said Wyche, referring to the fact Henson’s father, Dan, was a small-college football coach in Michigan. "But the time away didn’t hurt him at all. He didn’t forget much. Or if he did, he faked it pretty well."
