His size (6-5, 345) and physical playing style will be an asset as the team plans to feature a power running game with heavy-duty RB Willis McGahee.

Said Bills’ special teams star Steve Tasker: "If everybody who has come up to me over the years and said they were there that day (shows up), there will be 1.5 million people in the stands."’
