Two Bills Drive

Has a thick frame that can still add additional bulk in the upper body…Has the balance and lateral agility needed make plays working down the line…Reads, recognizes and reacts to the play with no hesitation, showing the natural instincts to jump the snap count and draw the blockers off-side.

“This is shocking for me. I have wanted to play in the league for a long time and a lot of people didn’t think I was going to get drafted. I am thankful to the Lord for giving me the opportunity to get drafted. I’m especially thankful I will be playing for the Buffalo Bills, it’s a dream come true.”

‘"He’s in a situation where he can contribute right away," said Aiken’s agent, Alvin Keels. "They run a lot of three-receiver sets and with Drew Bledsoe at quarterback it’s a situation where he can flourish. If you don’t go in the first round, then you just want to go to a team where you can flourish, and that’s what happened for Sam."’

‘Henry wasn’t backing off on his feelings Sunday, but was a little more diplomatic after being reassured by the team that his job wasn’t in jeopardy. ”When you see something like that immediately, you’re going to react that way,” Henry’s agent, Greg Johnson, said. ”Immediately his natural reaction was, ‘What’s going on here? and I feel like it’s a slap in the face because they don’t need a running back at the first pick.””

"He's a fine football player. He's the type of player I want on the defensive line. A solid run defender, who rushes the passer, high motor and shows fantastic toughness on tape. It was the kind of guy I want. I was very lucky to get him."

Powerful athlete who was a mainstay on the defensive line the last two years at nose guard… The partial qualifier received an additional year of eligibility in 2002 after graduating the previous spring… Finished with 88 tackles (41 solos), 6 sacks for minus-32 yards and 19 stops for losses of 65 yards while starting 14 of 35 games.

"He's an athletic guy. He's one of four players who actually got some start time as a freshman. He had some unfortunate experience with some shoulder injuries, but he came back senior year. He split half time with a guy who was in there. I think he's remarkable. He's big guy and he can run a 4.9, which is tough to find those guys. He's a versatile guy. He came with very very strong recommendations, was said that he was probably the best athlete on the offensive line (at Iowa). I feel very strongly about the guy. He's a good pick."

"I feel great. I'm excited. It's a great organization and I'm just excited to get the chance."

Wide-bodied…Shows the leg drive to get movement in-line for the running game… Sinks his hips low and shuffles his feet well on the trap.

Select one featuring No. 1 Pick Willis McGahee

WKBW Sports Director John Murphy will host the special with Bills President and GM Tom Donahoe as a live guest. Sunday, April 27 at 11:30 PM.

"He runs good routes. I'd say he and Josh (Reed) are about the same speed; he may be a step faster than Josh. He's a good run after the catch player. He'll be able to play two to three different positions because of his knowledge of the game."

"It's a great feeling. Playing with Moulds and Bledsoe, I can't ask for anything better."

"He was one of those guys who had a really good career. He came up in his senior year and was having a real good year. He had been a four-year starter there. One of the things that we really liked about him was his versatility. He was a corner and then he played some safety as well as a punt returner and a kickoff returner."

"This past season didn't really go as well as I had wanted it to because I was hurt a lot. I'm so used to playing corner but I played free safety which added a couple dimensions to my game. Through my career at Northwestern State I played well enough for an NFL team to recognize what I can do."
