NFL Football Season 2008- 09
Favorite Players by Team
AFC - Buffalo Bills
Leodis McKelvin
Drafted with the 11th overall pic, first cornerback selected overall, team’s first ever selection from Troy and only the 27th player in school history drafted. Became the club’s highest drafted cornerback all-time, passing Derrick Burroughs (1985, 14th overall)
McKelvin is a playmaker (4.38 speed) who is said to possess amazing man-to-man abilities. Hardy could prove to be a monster. At 6’7” and with a 39-inch vertical, he’ll at least improve the failing red zone offense. Ellis was a productive pass-rusher in the ACC; a lot of 3-4 teams considered him a potential OLB.
