‘”I feel like things are going pretty good,” Whitner said. “I’m learning. With a record of 2-5 not everything is going the way I want it to go. I want to win football games and this is the first time I’ve been on a losing team. I’ve never lost this many game in high school or at Ohio State. We just want to get it turned around. I’m learning every day from the vets and the coaches.”‘

‘After seven games, the Bills have seen mixed results from their top three choices. While Whitner has vastly exceeded early expectations, the team’s other two selections have been much too quiet. Granted, there have been extenuating circumstances for both, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been nonexistent.’
