So with the Bills set to hold a mini camp with their tryout players in a few days times I thought it prudent to look up who the Bills have brought in and gauge who stands the best shot at filling up the last few spots on the off-season roster. Of my top third tier, my top 7 players to keep an eye on are QB Alex Tanney, FB Dorin Dickerson, DE Vincent Browne, DE Corey Hart, LB Nick Clark, LB Emmanuel Lamur and CB Dominic Cook.
Without further ado here are the players, their senior year college stats and for a few some interesting fact. Note that (*) means that the player came out of the previous draft while (**) means they have no known stat I can find.
QB Alex Tanney - Monmouth College [6-2, 223, 4.96]
Completed 281 of 393 passes for 3,867 yards, 38 TDs and just 8 INTs. Also known as the trick shot QB.
RB Zach Brown - Pittsburgh [5-9, 212, 4.77]
82 rushes for 336 yards (4.1 avg) and 5 TDs.
FB Dorin Dickerson - Pittsburgh [6-2, 226, 4.40]*
49 receptions for 529 yards (10.8 avg) and 10 TDs. Thought to be a day 2 pick in 2010 and can play at TE (43" vert).
C Taylor Boggs - Humboldt College [6-2, 294, 5.38]**
Undersized lineman (for the Bills) but graded out in the middle of the '12 draft class.
TE Derek Buttles - Maine [6-4, 240, 4.85]
