Now the Bills are really Cooking!

PrintFor the second straight year the Buffalo Bills quickly signed a former UB player as an undrafted free agent. Last season the Bills took Naaman Roosevelt in the minutes following the NFL draft. This season, due to the lockout, NFL teams had to wait until today to start trolling through those players who just missed getting drafted.
Domonic Cook, a UB Alumni and a Buffalo native got a call from Orchard park today with an invite to camp. He has the same hill to climb that teammate Naaman Roosevelt did last season.
I might just start caring about the Buffalo Bills again!
Cook spent three seasons as a cornerback before answering the call to become a safety this season. All he did was play well enough to earn first-team all-Mid-American Conference honors. He ranked sixth in the country with six interceptions and forced three fumbles. He finished his career with 36 passes defended, third-most in UB history.
Cook is the second defensive back to make it into an NFL camp this season. His teammate, Josh Thomas, was drafted by the Cowboys. One more Bull, Davonte Shannon, is rumored to be on the radar of several schools with several sites tagging him as a top 75 undrafted free agent.

Let the master work his magic, he struck gold last year with the undrafted free agents. This is like the night before Christmas for me because I know he’ll get the right players for us!
Give me the Buffalo Bills or give me death.....
From a UB perspective this is gold!
If the Bills have two or three Bulls on the roster there might finally be some kind of bleedover in Buffalo between the Bills and Bulls fans.
Nix has my vote but he might want to nab Davonte Shannon as well ;)
I always like to see
Buffalo Bulls in the NFL
There is nothing worse than exaggeration!

Love to see the synergy with Bills/Bulls
First of all, did you see the video by the super group Grind Hard “We On” of Naaman, Cooke, Winters? Check it out if you have not seen it yet. A ton of UB gear including a ring in the video.
I would love to see players make the Bills team and perform. Namaan’s one catch turning back across his body should have been enough for people to come to Amherst and watch these players in action.
I really hope that Davonte gets a shot!
