QUOTE OF THE DAY
FRED JACKSON, Buffalo Bills running back
Q: You’re one of the leaders on the team. How has he done as a rookie and a quarterback earning a leadership role?
“A tremendous job. The number one thing he did to do that was come in and attacked his role like he would be the starter. He came in, put in the work and he still continued to work. And anytime you can do that I think a lot of guys are going to respect you for it. He’ll just continue to progress and hopefully we can help to bring him along and make things a lot easier for him.”
