Steve Johnson told the Bills' official team website that he wants to double his 2011 yards after the catch average of 4.5 yards this season. Why was it so low last year? Johnson played with a torn groin, and he said it not only affected his speed but his psyche. "With the groin it was more a thought of, 'I know this guy is going to catch me.’ My level of confidence was basically low because I felt with a torn groin I had to do a lot of cutting back across the field instead of just trying to outrun somebody," said Johnson. "When I’d be out there I’d be thinking about making the catch and then get what I can and get down. What the mentality should be is get the catch and try to take it all the way to the house. It was different with that injury."

Spotlighting The Buffalo Bills’ Weak-Side LB Position Heading Into 2012 Season
