BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Quarterback Drew Willy has agreed to a
rookie free-agent contract with the Baltimore Ravens after the
University at Buffalo's leading passer was overlooked in the NFL
draft.
The deal was announced by Buffalo's athletics department Sunday.
It was reached shortly after the two-day draft ended.
Willy capped his four-year college career by leading Buffalo
(8-6) to its first winning season in 10 years in the Division I-A
ranks, its first Mid-American Conference title and its first bowl
appearance at any level, a 38-20 loss to Connecticut in the
International Bowl.
The native of Randolph, N.J., set single-season school records
as a senior with 3,304 yards passing and 25 touchdowns while
throwing only six interceptions.
