‘“You hope you’re drafting A.J. Green,” said NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah. “I don’t think he’s on that level, but that’s the style with which he plays. There’s a little bit of concern with him just getting off press. Some of the better competition they played later in the year, he struggled a little bit with that.

Bills Today | Pat DiMarco offers this opinion about the proposed CBA
‘DiMarco is in favor of the CBA and believes there is enough in the deal supporting the players to play an extra game a season.
