I'm up for any Orange player.

You know, funny thing is, considering how close they are and the relationships some of the scouts/coaches probably develop with each other, the Bills traditionally don't draft Syracuse players - and there have been several over the years that would have fit well with the Bills.

They did draft Ernie Davis!!

Teams don't neccesarily draft from nearby schools more often. How many Hurricanes play with the Dolphins?

Syracuse seems to be the primary recruiting pool for the Colts.

I really like Jackson, btw, although he seems to be a butt-tackler. ;)

Average in man coverage is being kind to him.
