‘”I always would have these big road cones in the driveway and he had to run the cones real good in the driveway before we could go in the house,” he said. “I’d have him backpedal and everything at five, six-years old.”‘

‘”One, I am happy I get to play left tackle, two Buffalo is one of my favorite teams,” said Glenn. “I am just happy that I get to play football and I know where I am playing it now it is just a big relief.”‘

‘On why he is excited to play for the Bills: The coach. I like the coaching staff. I like the offensive line coach (Joe D’Alessandris). I like the way he coaches, so (Buffalo) was definitely a big favorite of mine.’

‘You know, we saw him play guard prior to this year and then this year he played left tackle. As you watched the season progress, he got better and better at left tackle. He struggled in the first ballgame against Boise State and the whole Georgia offensive line did. You could see a tremendous amount of improvement every week. He’s got tremendous size. He’s got length and he’s got good foot quickness. If there’s one thing that he needs to improve on, he’ll get impatient at times and waist-bend, but he does not do that all the time. And we’re a firm believer that if he doesn’t do it all the time we can coach and we can get him out of that habit. It’s very similar to what Marcus McNeill was when we took him at San Diego and the coaches were able to get him out of it.’

‘”He’s 5’11” and something and he can run by most everybody, I mean the guy can fly,” said Gailey. “He can catch and has some return ability.”‘

‘I spoke with some people and they suggested that this was the earliest I would go. You expect the worst in this situation, so getting the best that they told me is a pretty good thing. I am pretty excited about it.’

‘On why they moved up two spots to draft Graham: Well, we were worried he wouldn’t be there. You just don’t want to get that close and not get him. The pick we gave up was 217 in the seventh (round), we had two anyway.’
