2012 NFL Draft: Buffalo Bills Pre-Draft Visitors

After we noted that the Buffalo Bills had confirmed a latest round of pre-2012 NFL Draft visitors this morning, I was asked several times via email to put up a quick post with a list of every prospect that has come through One Bills Drive this spring.

Thankfully, Joe Buscaglia at WGR 550 has already done this for you, though his list does not contain the name of Mississippi State defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, who is in Buffalo today. Adding Cox to Joe's list, we have the names of 25 pre-draft visitors for the Bills. They're only allowed 30, so we've got a very clear picture of who the team has been keen to get more information on in a one-on-one setting.

Also of note: nearly a third (eight) of the 25 prospects on the list hail from SEC schools, and the list is appropriately southern-themed, as is the modus operandi of GM Buddy Nix. One last note: both of Nix's first-round draft picks, Clemson running back C.J. Spiller and Alabama defensive tackle Marcell Dareus, made pre-draft visits with the club. Head on in after the jump for the list, and please note that just because a player isn't on the list doesn't mean he hasn't visited.
