‘“I’m a high-energy guy,” Farwell said at the Senior Bowl on Wednesday upon being introduced as the Bills’ new special teams coordinator. “I’m a hands-on coach. That’s the way I was as a player. I try to portray that to the players. Hopefully they feed off that. They see if I’m running around and having fun and embracing it, and they feel that love for them, I think it usually translates. They see it, and it kind of elevates their play.”’

‘“That’s why I’m here,” head coach Sean McDermott said this week in between Senior Bowl practices in Mobile. “That’s why we’re here. We believe in this process here. We get a chance to not only watch these young men perform on the field, but also get a chance to be around them in the evening where we can interview them and get up close and personal with them, have a better understanding for who they are as people and what motivates them as professionals.”‘
