Two Bills Drive

‘This Saturday, young Ticat fans take the field to learn the fundamentals of football from their hometown players with a special appearance by an All-Pro receiver and some of his teammates. Eric Moulds, the All-Pro receiver from the Buffalo Bills, joins Ticat players and coaches and other Bills players as kids ages 8-13 are able to take the field at Ivor Wynne Stadium and “Practice with the Pros!"’

‘The Bills created the position of national college scout to hire Ross.’

‘”I’m looking forward to a new start with the Bills,” Ross said. “It’s a good organization. The owner (Ralph Wilson) is a great man. Have you ever met him? He’s a real guy. He’s just so down to Earth. He’s the kind of guy you can go into and talk to any time.”‘

‘Marc Ross was the Eagles Director of College Scouting from 2000 until 2003.’

‘Q: Who do you feel has contributed the most to your success?

LE: Good family support and the will to reach my goals.’

‘Ross, a Princeton graduate, spent the past seven years as a scout with the Philadelphia Eagles, including the last three as the team’s director of college scouting. With Buffalo, Ross is reunited with Tom Modrak, the Bills’ assistant general manager and chief scout. Modrak had also been the Eagles’ director of football operations from 1998-01.’

‘"With Antonio Brown there, it’s a tough spot to get right now," Coleman said. "I did return last year in preseason. I just hope to get another opportunity at that."’

‘Ross was most recently with the Philadelphia Eagles as the Director of College Scouting (2000-2003). Prior to his time as a director, Ross served as the Eagles eastern regional scout (1997-00).’

‘Yet even if the pot didn’t belong to Thomas, there was a more disturbing aspect to the possession arrest. Police indicated that he appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. And for Thomas, that’s much worse news than a marijuana bust.’

‘The event will consist of meet and greet, music, food, raffles and auction items (autographed items by Travis and other NFL players). Proceeds from the event will benefit the Hilltop First Baptist Church and Frostproof High School Athletic Fund.’

‘The first day will feature both teams working out against each other in two practices, followed by a scrimmage the next day.’

‘Perhaps the most troubling detail to emerge from Thomas’ arrest on misdemeanor drug possession, strangely enough, was not the drugs. It’s that police found him drunk at 2 a.m., hours before he was scheduled to tee off in Cornelius Bennett’s celebrity golf tournament. Excessive drinking doesn’t warrant criminal charges, but it’s a felony in the life of an alcoholic who devoted his recovery to helping others.’

‘While more NFL teams are electing to conduct training camp at their regular-season facilities, Mularkey still favors getting away to train, and he fully understands how important Rochester is to the Bills marketing effort. “A lot of people win in this situation,” he said.’

‘This marks the third consecutive year that the teams have met during training camp.’

‘This marks the third consecutive year that the teams have met during training camp and the second time that the event has taken place at St. John Fisher.’
