Orchard Park (WKBW.com) The Buffalo Bills kicked off day three of the NFL draft by selecting Linebacker Nigel Bradham out of Florida State University with the 105th overall pick.
Bradham was a three year starter for the Seminoles mostly at weak side linebacker and finished his career with 306 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 9 sacks. At 6-1, 241 pounds the Bills say they like his size and speed and could see him playing at either of the outside linebacker positions. Bradham was also a key contributor on special teams and says he has a passion in that area.
"He's a physical kid and he's got good size", said Bills national scout Darrell Moody. "With the spread formations now, a lot of the linebackers are smaller than we wold like. But he's got good size. He's got good straight-line speed and is a great special teams player", continued Moody.
