Barnett preps at Beebe’s facility
Posted by on July 12, 2012 – 9:47 amBills LB Nick Barnett is back in Wisconsin for the next few weeks leading up to training camp. He’s not commiserating with former Packers teammates. Instead he’s at one of former Bills receiver Don Beebe’s House of Speed locations tuning up for the 2012 season.
According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Barnett trained there last offseason and wanted to make a return trip this summer after having his best statistical season in his first year with the Bills since 2007.
Barnett admitted he had extra motivation after the Packers released him and signed with the Bills.
“I was disappointed in the fact that I was released,” Barnett told the Press-Gazette. “I definitely wanted to go out and show them as well as show myself and anybody else who doubted me that I’m still who I am. I’m still here to play football. I still love to play the game. I’m still going to run to the ball, make plays and have fun.”
Barnett is working at the former Bills wide receiver’s House of Speed location in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin.

DE Quinn with a Bills tie
Posted by on April 21, 2011 – 9:10 amNorth Carolina DE Robert Quinn, widely forecast as a top 15 pick, has an interesting Bills connection.
Quinn in an effort to improve his speed for the NFL combine and his pro day went to a former Bills speedster for help. Former Bills wide receiver Don Beebe served as Quinn’s speed coach during the pre-draft process.
“I did about half my training at Pensacola, Fla., at API,” said Quinn. ”I finished (the last) two and a half, three weeks up in Chicago with
Don Beebe.”
Beebe’s House of Speed has developed a good reputation for shaving precious tenths off of prospect’s 40 times. Coming off of a year of inactivity having served an NCAA suspension that cost him his 2010 season, Quinn still put up the best 40 time at the defensive end position among the top prospects in the draft pool.
He ran a 4.62 at the NFL combine and a 4.6 flat at his pro day.
