Buffalo Bills Sign 14 Undrafted Free Agents

The Buffalo Bills signed 14 undrafted free agents today at a variety of positions. The most notable player is probably “baby Gronk” more formally known as Glenn Gronkowski, the fullback from Kansas State who’s older brother just happens to be Rob Gronkowski the best tight end in the NFL and star player for the New England Patriots.

The Bills also signed Oklahoma linebacker Eric Striker who’s emotional plea to his family on draft night after going undrafted has gotten a lot of attention. In this ESPN.com clip you can check out the video of it. According to 247Sports, “Striker finished his OU career with 191 total tackles, including 46.5 tackles for loss and 23 sacks, and he also broke up 11 passes, recovered four fumbles, forced a pair and picked off a pass.”
