Anyone in Buffalo following the Bills? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

A guy I played ball with a few years ago just signed on with the Bills. I was just wondering if any of you local guys have heard anything about how he's doing. His name is Paris Jackson and he's a WR. Now I know he's not one of the premiere players on the team, but I'm curious as to whether there's been much talk of him at all during the pre-season. Thanx!

I'm not in Buffalo.
But I thought I'd pass on the official depth chart at this point.

Our Lads updates the depth charts throughout the week as the teams release them. This chart has Jackson pretty deep. Although there is no rule, a team will usually keep eight wideouts - with the last two on the depth chart being kick returners/special teams guys.

Interestingly, James Jett (the former Oakland player) is listed four deep - looks like he's just trying to make the Bills. And if he has some speed still, he just may. And Charles Johnson, a nine year vet, is listed five deep. This is shaping up to be a battle of the vets versus the rooks, it will be interesting to see which way the Bills go.

Hope your guy makes it. He'll need to play better than the others on special teams.

Hope that helped.

Thanks for the info! I guess the real battle is just survivng through pre-season. I mean, he's not a first-rounder so just making the team as a walkon would be a huge achievement. Once he's got his foot in the door, who knows?

Again, thanks!

Well, he was cut today. Maybe we'll see him up in the CFL if he doesn't get on with another team.
