I can't tell you that I knew David Nelson would soon become a starter when the Bills signed him as an undrafted free agent two summers ago. I didn't know if his 6'5, 215-pound frame could get past the speed of NFL corners or if he would even get a fair shot. I do know that starters climb out of the undrafted pile once in a blue moon.

Spiller and Fred Jackson on the field at the same time, either in the back field together, or one of them split out wide.  At least that’s the way head coach Chan Gailey is hinting at. “You don’t want to do too much when they’re both in there because if you lose one of them then you’re without a...
