Did you watch CJ Spiller play last year after Fred Jackson was put on injured reserve? Apparently not since you are calling him a bust, but here…
Does this sound like a bust? -107 rushes for 561 yards, 5.2 yard average, 4 RUSHTD’s, 39 receptions for 269 yards, 6.8 yard average and 2 RECTD’s. I have to add the fact that he only started a few games -6-
In the NFL a 5.2 yard average is not a bust.

“The bills should move him to RB to take. advantage of his superior speed and athletic ability’s. plus the bill’s only have the ageing Fred Jackson a.d 2010 draft bust DJ spillner.”

Did you see CJ Spiller’s performance last year when Jacksone went down; how is he a bust?

With their 9 draft picks and UDFAs and having cut D.Florence, the Bills have 88 players on their 90-man roster. Even counting their UDFA signings, however, they do not have enough rookies for their rookie mini-camp. So, they are allowed to bring in a certain number of non-roster players for the rookie mini-camp on a “try-out” basis.

So, why not bring in a couple of “workout warriors” as “try-outs” to see what they can do?

Wannstedt knows Dickerson and may think that he can do more than he showed previously or may have improved while on those practice squads. It doesn’t hurt to have a look.

As for the Bills bringing in athletes, while the likes of the Steelers are bringing in “football players”, one of the “try-outs” the Bills are bringing in, in addition to Dickerson, is Alex Tanney, who the Steelers invited to “try-out” at their rookie mini-camp. And, as for Onobun: it seems that there have been a couple of former basketball players who have done quite well in the NFL after being given some time to learn how to play football. So, again, why not see what he can do? It’s not like he’s taking a spot on the 53-man roster except as an emergency injury fill-in late in the season unless he can prove he can play.
