‘“Seeing a different part of the world taught me the values of different cultures and respecting diversity, not seeing colors or races,” he said. “Growing up on a base, you really live around a whole bunch of different people.

Bills Position Preview: Wide Receiver

‘There are plenty of other bodies at the position – including sixth- and seventh-round draft picks McCloud (Clemson) and Proehl (North Carolina), and the speedy and athletic Foster, an undrafted free agent from Alabama – but it could take some time before anyone distinguishes himself … if that happens at all.’

Bills WR Player Spotlight: Kelvin Benjamin

‘When Benjamin is healthy, there is plenty to like about what he’s capable of offering. At 6-foot-5 and 245 pounds, he can be a matchup nightmare for most defensive backs who don’t have the size or strength to keep him in check.
