QUOTE OF THE DAY
Bills sixth-round draft selection K Dustin Hopkins on his opportunity with the Bills:
“This thing is going to be a competition. You can’t play in the league as long as he (Rian Lindell) has and not be a great kicker. That being said I’ve got my work cut out for me because he’s very talented, he’s experienced and has a lot of things going for him. I want to come in and compete and whatever the organization is they want the best at that position. We’re both going to try our best to win that job.” – via BuffaloBills.com
