'Harrell (6-2, 229) and Logan (6-2, 235) are both linebackers, a position where roles will be up for grabs on Buffalo’s roster. Both players saw a good deal of their reps during rookie minicamp at the weak side linebacker position.'

Family oriented, just loves his teammates. He embraced me. That tells you what type of man he is. He didn’t have to do that. So glad to play for someone like that and I can’t wait to develop with him.”'

'The Bills' interest in Schoen makes sense given that he got his NFL start in Carolina with Beane.

'"Jim is tough, and his toughest fight of all was that he beat cancer, not once but twice. I saw him and his incredible wife as they were at a very low moment. Jill, very, very low moment. And it was amazing the way they fought. It didn't look good. I would have said, maybe it's not going to happen, but there was always that hope, because of Jim and Jim's heart. But I want to just say that it's great to have you here today Jim and these people are big, big fans."'

'In addition to his time with Miami, Schoen also worked for the Carolina Panthers. He served as a scouting assistant, National Football Scouting scout covering the Southeast and Southwest over seven seasons in Carolina.'
