Bills Sign 12 UDFAs
The Bills have added a dozen undrafted free agents to their roster. Here’s the list, in full:
- G Gerhard de Beer (Arizona)
- DE Mat Boesen (TCU)
- OT Ike Boettger (Iowa)
- CB Ryan Carter (Clemson)
- K Tyler Davis (Penn State)
- RB Keith Ford (Texas A&M)
- WR Robert Foster (Alabama)
- DE Mike Love (South Florida)
- OT Mo Porter (Baylor)
- WR Cam Phillips (Virginia Tech)
- LB Corey Thompson (LSU)
- CB Levi Wallace (Alabama)
Foster played for Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll at the University of Alabama, so Daboll is already familiar with what he provides. He wasn’t a major contributor in college, but he did have 14 catches for 174 yards and a touchdown last year. Foster impressed evaluators at the combine with a 4.41 second 40-yard-dash and his build gives the Bills some hope that he can stick at the next level.
Phillips, on the other hand, was a big performer in college. At Virginia Tech, he caught 147 passes in his final two seasons for nearly 2,100 yards and 12 TDs.
