MClem06 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 So I was just messing around on the Roster page for the Bills looking at the active roster and I saw this guy so I did some googling. Watch this video... kid runs a 4.48 40 and is built like a brick poop house. I'm not one to normally blow up a practice squad guy but jeez this kid is an athelete. Evidently his lack of experience (1 year of on field play) at Houston and special teams was his role. If they can coach this kid up he has the build & speed to play with the pros. This thread probably won't go anywhere but I love seeing the guys they've brought in so thought I'd share... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 It's not like the Bills have a roster full of all-pros at the TE position, so he'll have his shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Greener than grass (two, count 'em, two catches for 33 yards in his one year of football at Houston), but some eye-opening measureables. And he seems like another good kid you can root for, which is a prevailing theme at OBD this off-season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 He might already be on the roster if im not mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 He'll be on the roster come week 1 I'd guess and probably backing up Chandler at TE, not just on STs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Straw Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Pretty sure they added him to the squad last year also? mid year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 He'll be on the roster come week 1 I'd guess and probably backing up Chandler at TE, not just on STs. He's still behind Lee Smith and Mike Caussin (how'd he get that #83 jersey--grrrr!) and maybe even Kevin Brock, so he'd have to have a really good camp to make the active 46...

Buftex Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I thought they picked him up late last season, from the Rams practice squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Intriguing prospect. I like signing guys like this as long as we don't waste draft picks. Work-out warriors (Erik Flowers, anyone?) often disappoint in the pros. Even world class athletes like Renaldo Nehemiah don't necessarily make good football players. I wish this guy luck but would be surprised if he ever played much. Great athletes aren't always great football players and great football players aren't always great athletes. Btw, I kind of saw Graham as a workout warrior - picked primarily because of his 40 time but Nix and Gailey keep telling us he's a 'football player,' not a track runner. I guess we'll find out. In any case - like Nehehmiah - he'll be useful in stretching the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick in* england Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Looks great in shorts. Lets see how he looks in the middle of 3 linebackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 If he makes the team maybe they can sell something based on his name at the concession stands… "Fendi on a bun" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagon Circler Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 If he makes the team maybe they can sell something based on his name at the concession stands… "Fendi on a bun" Should change his first name to hamburger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numark Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 No way he passes smith or chandler though. I do like him however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 No way he passes smith or chandler though. I do like him however I don't think that Lee Smith is some kind of lock to make the roster. As a matter of fact, in my honest opinion, it's Scott Chandler and everybody else. I think whichever two of Smith, Onobun, Caussin, and Brock have the best camp/preseason are the one's that will make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cincinnati Kid Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 After seeing that video, I would take Fendi and Caussin as Chandler's backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I've BEEN using Onobun in Madden cuz of his speed for months now... My favorite play on 3rd and short is Standard Pass/Y Shallow Cross/ TE Onobun catches 2 yards out wit a minimum of 7 YAC 1st down buffalo bills...

I think whichever two of Smith, Onobun, Caussin, and Brock have the best camp/preseason are the one's that will make it. Lee Smith is BY FAR the best blocker of the group. I think he makes the roster over Caussin/Onobun purely because of that. If they keep 3 TE's (and I doubt they will), I could see Chandler, Caussin, and Smith.

Beastly Dareus Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Greener than grass (two, count 'em, two catches for 33 yards in his one year of football at Houston), but some eye-opening measureables. And he seems like another good kid you can root for, which is a prevailing theme at OBD this off-season... Great find on that second link, looks like there are people that think he has alot of potential. Will be an interesting guy to watch in camp and preseason.
