Chris Ellis: But the former third-round pick has been busting his tail this offseason to improve his upper body strength, and is determined to be a bigger part of Buffalo’s defensive line rotation in year two.

"Ellis is another young guy that has gotten better, gotten experience and is working hard," said defensive line coach Bob Sanders. "I think he’s ready to have a good training camp."

Rodd will be competing mainly with Marvin Philip for the backup center role.

Uh, I kind of doubt it, Chris....
