Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 That's what Caleb Campbell, safety from Army, said in ESPN interview. If he got drafted (which he did by Detroit the pick before Buffalo's 5th I believe) he wouldn't have to go to Iraq and would be used in recruiting. I was disappointed the Bills didn't draft him but sounds like they signed the next best guy. They said, an added attraction to get kids to go to the Academy having a player get drafted by the NFL. He needs to be on an NFL roster for two years to forgo his time to be served overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_House Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 More on Felton, the OG: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/...ayers/6653.html BIOGRAPHY: Four-year starter awarded All-Conference honors as a senior. Used at both tackle positions as well as guard in college. POSITIVES: Explosive blocker with good size and growth potential. Quick off the snap, fluid moving about the field, and can block in motion. Nasty, always looking for someone to hit, and fights with his hands throughout the action. Sets with a wide base, blocks with good lean, and explosive in all his actions. Anchors in pass protection and keeps his feet moving on contact. NEGATIVES: Does not possess the dominant base and is not a true drive-blocker. On the ground too much and must improve his blocking balance. Not known as a hard worker and has a soft body. ANALYSIS: Felton possesses a lot of natural skill and holds a good degree of upside potential. He's been productive on the college level and can have a career in the NFL if he makes football a priority and works hard to improve his strength and conditioning. PROJECTION: Late Fifth Round Looks like a solid project pick for the O-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Viti will not be on the practice squad, in fact, they may need to franchise him one day. I am prepared to promote Viti to a Hamdan-like status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellDressed Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I don't think they'd do that. Then again, Mike Anderson (a former Marine) use to do that stupid s**t. That was Terrell Davis' salute. Anderson got that from TD!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynchMob23 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 From the article on the front page: “I’m cognizant of the fact that I represent more than just the Buffalo Bills, but also the United States Army. I just have to do the best I can and serve in multiple facets. I don’t look at it as backing away from my commitment because I still am serving my country in the role of a recruiter. My service to my nation won’t be done when I’m done with the Buffalo Bills because no matter if I spend one day or 10 years in the NFL, I plan on serving my nation when my career is over.” -Mike Viti I hope this guy makes the team.

I hope this guy makes the Pro Bowl -- as a Bill, of course. But I guess we need to start with him making the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
