Wow. A lot has to mesh, but we have the makings of a really explosive offense. It probably won't really show this year, with three rookies, but Woods, Goodwin and Rogers could make a huge weakness into a strength. There is a ton of pure, raw talent. Doesn't mean much til we see it produce on the field but man, it's exciting.

Then there's this: Says he's a cross between Andre and Chad Johnson!

You see it here? He's a special athlete, that's for sure - at ttech vs Oregon on that one. Should've had 11 guys eyes on him and still got to the endzone

I'd guess the realistic hope is 1 hits full potential, one is solid but never hits that next step, and honestly one probably busts. Add tj being possible to step up too... Lot of talent to put together.

 

Who is the WR coach for this group?

Ike Hilliard I think

From what I've read, Rogers has first round talent but was given 2nd-3rd round grades due to his attitude issues.

He and Marquis Goodwin were the only WRs to broad jump 11 feet. Also Rogers has a 39" vertical which is elite. Also his shuttle and 3-cone times were right near the top.

 

This kid is a sick football player. He plays with verve and attitude and from the video I've watched he catches contested and high-traffic balls very well.

We have tremendously upgraded our WR core. I can't ever remember a draft when the Bills added so much potential at one position as at WR in the last couple of days.

 

I'm so glad we don't have to watch Fitz throw a 7 yarder to Stevie, and watch Stevie slide down . . . on 3rd and 9!

The ability to come down with the contested ball jumps off the screen with this kid...He looks elite in that area... B-)

The guy is also one tough SOB. I didn't see him play for Tech last year, but I remember watching him at Tenn when Hunter got hurt and he stepped up and carried the load. He was fearless and definitely does not shy away from contact.

Interview at proday

 

Thanks. I think he comes off very well in this interview, at any rate.

 

He was smart to sign here. New staff with no preconceptions about the team. Really only Stevie as an established vet, with TJ semi-established, and Woods and Goodwin obvious shoe-ins for roster spots. That's only four though. He can fight it out with Easley, Smith, other UDFAs, etc. for the 5th and maybe 6th slots. If he has his head on straight and works hard, athletically he's got to be the favorite, I would think.
