FluffHead Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 How many former Bills on that list? Torrell Troup Manese Foketi Marcus Dowtin Lonnie Pryor Kip Edwards Brandon Burton anyone else? Adam Carriker is interesting if he's healthy. I hope Fendi Onobun and Gucci Onobagel get another shot. They've gotta be hungry for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Other than Troup and Carriker, the only name I remember is Michael Bush from Louisville. Thought he might be a decent NFL back. That list is the NFL's Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Any diamonds in thorough on this list? Could this be the place to find a Guard? Can Tyler Wilson get another shot at QB. Should be at least a couple of guys on this list who stand out. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000478211/article/nfl-to-host-inaugural-veteran-combine what no Tebow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 So.. No QB's eh? We gotta turn over every rock! Sure I hope Manuel wow's us -or Tyrod is the second coming of Kaepernik -or Cassle is the next Earl Morral - but until that can be witnessed, I fear this deadly collection of superior offensive players will never really threaten.. Does the CFL have something like this?? I think Tyler Wilson is still worth a look.

Beef Jerky Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) So Michael Sam was actually slower now then he was at the combine... Thinking about TV more then football I guess. Edited March 23, 2015 by Beef Jerky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 So Michael Sam was actually slower now then he was at the combine... All the times were slow. Michael Bush ran a 4.9 or something sloth like, a lot of guys were over 5. Either it's really embarrassing or there was an issue with the laser timers (at least that's what the guys there are saying). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bladiebla Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Wow these guys can't even take a hint and decide to blame it on timers... Wanna bet these guys have been practising for months for the veterans combine? It is wierd that all the timings are that high, you'd expect better times from at least a few.

Kirby Jackson Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 This whole thing is depressing. It is just a bunch of guys realizing that it's the end of the road. For some, at least they had decent careers (Bush, Felix, etc...). There are others that really never got it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddenboy Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 It was extremely boring TV. It felt like half of the 1-hour show was the NFLN guys talking up the event, saying what a good idea it was, etc. Also, it wasnt a combine in the normal sense. There was no setup where guys at the same position ran the same drill back-to-back. Basically, they just showed whatever they wanted to talk about. Sad, boring TV.

I hope a couple of these guys get another chance, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
