CB Corner a factor
It's silly to draw any conclusions from rookie minicamp weekend. So this observation about Akron cornerback Reggie Corner is based on the fact the Bills picked him in the fourth round and the comments of team officials on him since the draft. Corner has a real chance to be a factor for the defense this year. He's going to make a run at playing time. Even though he's small, the Bills think he has the toughness and mentality to be capable against the run. It's going to be an interesting battle for playing time at the critical nickel corner position -- the guy who plays on the slot receiver, aka Wes Welker's whipping boy. Leodis McKelvin (if he doesn't start right away on the outside), Corner and veteran signee Will James are among the prospects there. We'll see how durable Corner proves to be, although he was durable in college.
