Bills signed 5

http://www.wben.com/news/wgrstory.php?newsid=2358

Reports: Bills Sign Five, Including Two Gators
Monday, April 30, 2007 05:26 AM - Nick Mendola - WGR 550 (http://www.wgr550.com/)

(WGR 550) - The draft didn't spell the end of the line for the Bills' front office, as Buffalo locked up five players to free agent contracts according to various sources.

Two of the players, wide receiver Jemalle Cornelius and cornerback Reggie Lewis, played for the National Champion Florida Gators, and signed with the Bills according to the Tampa Tribune.

Cornelius, a 5'11", 185-pound wide-out, caught 34 balls for 523 yards and three scores in 2006, including five catches for 50 yards in their BCS Championship Game rout of Ohio State.

Lewis made 27 tackles and nabbed four interceptions for the Gators after starting his college career as a wide receiver. The 5'10", 204-pound corner intercepted Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith with Florida up 14-7 in the first quarter of the BCS Championship Game.

South Carolina's The State is reporting that Buffalo gave a contract to Clemson corner Duane Coleman. According to **********, Coleman is a "heady ballplayer with above-average size/speed numbers... a dime back at the next level who must produce on special teams, an area where he was effective at Clemson." He led the Tigers in rushing as a redshirt freshman before converting to corner. Coleman also missed the Music City Bowl after being charged with simple marijuana possession.

According to the Houston Chronicle, the Bills signed Texas Southern safety Stacey Thomas. Thomas finished the season with 114 tackles, five interceptions, six breakups, four fumble recoveries and a sack on his way to the 2006 Walter Camp 1-AA All-America Team, according to nfldraft**********.

Louisiana's The Advocate reports that the Bills have landed Louisiana State kicker/punter Chris Jackson. Jackson, who was also a baseball infielder for the Tigers, agreed to a two-year deal with the Buffalo Bills according to his agent, Brian Parker. Parker said Jackson chose the Bills over offers from four other teams.

I wouldn't mind Mike Jones, T Bain, that Baylor corner, Jackie Battle, Johnny Harline, Rhema McKnight, Dan Mozes (surprised he didn't get drafted)

[admarc]

Two More to add to the 5 previously announced:

DE Corey Mace

DB Trevor Hooper

I know there are a few of these threads floating around. I will try to merge them all.

I'm most interested in the DB anything on him 40 time and size thanks.

All the LB's we can look at great!
:bills:

[JLB]

I'm most interested in the DB anything on him 40 time and size thanks.

Ht: 6-1 Wt: 211
Position: SS
Date of Birth: 2/8/1984
Class: RS - Senior
High School: Mountain View HS
(Mountain View, CA)
College: Stanford

A hard-nosed defender with a special-teams mentality, Hooper could fit in as an eighth defensive back whose primary duties at the next level lie on coverage teams.

[JLB]

Trevor Hooper

Biography:
Started two of his four seasons at Stanford, originally breaking into the starting lineup as a freshman. Totals as a senior included 91 tackles, after 40 tackles as a junior.

Pos:

Hard-working defensive back who flies around the ball, trying to make positive plays. Takes good angles to the action and is active in run defense. Sacrifices his body to make the play.

Neg:

Possesses an average burst speed and is late getting to the spot in coverage. Not a sure-handed tackler.

[JLB]

Also: Thaddaeus Washington, LB, Colorado

11/29/06 - Coaches All-Big 12 Honorable Mention: Senior LB Thaddaeus Washington, Dizon (137 tackles) and Washington (107 tackles) became the first set of linebackers to both post 100-plus tackles in a season since 1994, when Ted Johnson and Matt Russell accomplished the feat.

11/27/06 - PRO PROSPECTS: LB Thaddaeus Washington - Tough defender who didn't always buy into the principles set forth by new coach Dan Hawkins. Still ranked among the Buffaloes' leading tacklers and has the size and range to play professionally.

11/27/06 - PLAYER OF THE YEAR: LB Thaddaeus Washington - Although he spent some time in the doghouse of coach Dan Hawkins, Washington led a solid defense and showed his toughness playing against Kansas State with two cracked teeth that which later required major dental surgery.

Corey Mace DE

Draft Scout Corey Mace News
12/14/06 - All-Mountain West Conference Second Team: Corey Mace was Wyoming's top defensive lineman, ranking No. 4 on the team in tackles (51). Among defensive linemen in the MWC, Mace ranked among the top tacklers, averaging 4.2 tackles per game -- right behind Tommy Blake of TCU, who averaged 4.3 tackles per game. Mace was third in tackles for losses on the UW defense, with 5.5 on the season. He had an unbelievable game for a defensive lineman against Air Force, recording 13 total tackles. Another outstanding game for the defensive end was against Colorado State, making five tackles, including one TFL and breaking up one pass. His high sack game came on the road at Virginia, where he recorded 2.0 sacks in the game. He was part of a Wyoming defense that ranked No. 8 in the nation in total defense, allowing opponents only 262.9 yards of total offense per game. Part of a Wyoming pass defense that ranked No. 8 in the nation in pass defense, allowing opponents only 156.3 yards passing per game. Also helped lead the UW pass defense to a No. 14 national ranking in pass defense efficiency (104.9 rating).
