LB Buggs has shot

One undrafted rookie free agent signed by the Bills who may be promising is linebacker Marcus Buggs from Vanderbilt. He doesn't have classic size, but that's not a disqualifier in the BIlls' defense. Buggs is listed at 5-11, 225. He may be 5-10. Buggs is in the mold of Colts overachieving linebacker Gary Brackett, who was an undrafted, 5-11, 235-pounder out of Rutgers. Buggs is smart. He converted during his college career from safety to outside linebacker. The question will be whether he can add some bulk. If he has a good camp, he has a good shot for the practice squad.

If we got the next Gary Brackett as an undrafted free agent, I'd be pretty damn happy.

Some say there are two seasons in Buffalo, football season and waiting for football season. Bills beat writers Mark Gaughan and Allen Wilson, along with sports columnist Bob DiCesare and reporters Rodney McKissic and Milt Northrop, offer background and perspective inside the Bills and the NFL.
