‘"I sat down with coach Mularkey and coach (Jim) McNally to go over some plays and some technique and I think I could fit in pretty good here," added Womack. "Just looking at the team, they have very good chemistry here and I want to be a part of it."’

‘TE Marcellus Rivers has spent the past four seasons with the Giants. He has 27 catches for 227 yards and excels on special teams.’

‘2003: Played in 12 games with 5 starts. Inactive for the season’s final 4 games with a knee injury. Posted career-high totals of 17 receptions for 155 yards and recorded 12 tackles on special teams. Started against Buffalo (11/30) and had 2 receptions for 22 yards before leaving the game with a knee sprain that would sideline him for the remainder of the season.’

‘Nicknamed “Pork Chop” by his mother who thought Floyd resembled Pork Chop Cash, a local pro wrestler, when Floyd was a baby.’

‘Today the Bills are expected to entertain Seattle lineman Floyd "Pork Chop" Womack. He is a four-year veteran who has started 22 games the last three seasons, mostly at right tackle, but he also has played guard and left tackle. If the Bills don’t find what they’re looking for in the free agent market, Teague will become a much stronger possibility to play tackle.’

‘Having just watched his defensive line coach put six NFL draft hopefuls through something that from now on should simply be called “The Krumrie Drill,” Buffalo Bills coach Mike Mularkey found himself wondering if maybe 44-year-old Tim Krumrie should still be playing the position instead of coaching it.’

‘Former UW All-American defensive tackle Tim Krumrie, the defensive line coach of the Buffalo Bills, tested the strength and staying power of six former UW defensive linemen with a personalized drill. Krumrie and each player stood upright, face to face, and basically engaged in several minutes of hand-to-hand combat. Krumrie’s goal is to measure the character and fight of each player.’

‘The highlight of the afternoon for James and the ’04 UW defensive line came when Buffalo Bills defensive line coach Tim Krumrie sparred with the six recruits while decked out in jeans and cowboy boots.’

‘His talent was so evident that when he went to a UCLA football camp he was immediately offered a scholarship. But he didn’t stay long. There were reports that Bruin coaches thought his footwork was poor, and other reports that he wanted to operate from a shotgun formation where his running ability would be maximized. In any case, Coach Bob Toledo believed a freshman should wait his turn. Cory Paus was the starter. Soon Losman decided to leave and the only schools he considered were ones who used the shotgun — Purdue, San Diego State and Tulane.’
