Bills GM Buddy Nix was the keynote speaker at the Monday QB Club post-draft event at Ralph Wilson Stadium Tuesday evening. He was asked about the future of Torell Troup and Alex Carrington with Marcell Dareus now in the fold. Here’s what Nix had to say.

“We have six guys we think can play with Marcell,” he said. “Troup and Carrington are really good players. These days if you don’t start your first game as a rookie you’re a bust. It’s ludicrous. You really don’t know what guys will do until year three. They will get on field more (this season).

“Troup played a lot (last year), Carrington played late in year and got better every time he played. Troup he’s big enough to play in there, anchor the 3-4 and at defensive end.”
