‘Ford, 6-foot-3 and 329 pounds, started 14 games for the Sooners in 2018 and was named a third-team All-American, as well as a first-team All-Big 12 selection by the league’s coaches. His nfl.com scouting report says he has the “power to bulldoze down blocks and open the gap” and “plays with plenty of nasty.”‘

‘He came to Oklahoma as a guard and played there in his first two seasons. With threats to his playing time by Ben Powers and Dru Samia, he moved to fill the hole left by Orlando Brown, who was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in 2018. It turned out to be a natural fit, and Ford started all 14 games for the Sooners at tackle last season as was named first-team All-Big 12 by the league’s coaches.’

‘Nicknamed “Motor,” he rushed for 4,299 yards and 66 touchdowns, and also added 51 catches for 397 yards and another score. He earned Conference USA MVP honors and was a first-team all-conference selection in 2017, leading the nation with 32 rushing touchdowns, tying for the national lead with 301 carries and ranking fourth with 1,920 yards (6.4 yards per carry). In just three college seasons, Singletary logged 714 carries.’

‘While he isn’t a speed demon (he ran a 4.66 40-yard dash at the combine), Singletary has plenty of elusiveness that might remind Bills fans of Shady.’

‘Knox, 6-foot-4 and 254 pounds, made 39 catches for 605 yards during his college career. Interestingly enough, he did not score a touchdown. After redshirting in 2015, Knox played mostly on special teams in 2016. He recorded 24 catches for 321 yards in 2017, second among all Southeastern Conference tight ends in yardage, and followed that up with 15 catches for 284 yards.’

‘The 6-foot-4, 254-pound prospect switched positions as a redshirt freshman. He only saw a few games of action on special teams, but gradually he became more and more involved for the Rebels.’

‘”I can’t wait to see them in action,” he said of the team’s fans. “I heard about how crazy they can get and how fired up they can get. I just want to see it for myself and be influenced by it.”‘

‘This much is clear: The Bills have methodically and relentlessly attacked every single hole in the roster – and there were many – since last year’s 6-10 finish.’

‘Here’s a subjective depth chart by position, with the early-line odds on who will start…’.

‘Katherine O’Brien, a Western New York native, a neuropsychologist and a cancer survivor who is president of the Bills Backers of Houston, set up a GoFundMe account months ago for Ezra and his family at gofundme.com/pancho-power.’
