There were several spectacular highlights from the afternoon workout at Bills Training Camp, and the Bills managed to get it in without getting wet. Raindrops fell for a few brief seconds, and there was a distant rumble of thunder, but not enough to disrupt the workout. The biggest crowd of the training camp so far enjoyed a pretty good show inside Growney Stadium.
In 7-on-7 work, JP Losman made a deep pass down the right sideline to rookie Steve Johnson. He made a spectacular leaping grab in traffic for a big play. Johnson had a good spring minicamp for the Bills, and he has already started to make plays here in this camp. He's a 7th round draft pick from Kentucky.
In team work, there were two huge plays. One was a leaping sideline grab by backup running back Fred Jackson. I'm not sure if he got both feet down inbounds, but instant replay is not in use at camp (thankfully) so we'll consider it a legal catch.
Safety George Wilson made an acrobatic interception deep downfield later on in team work. He showed flashes of his previous incarnation as a receiver, when he went high up and came down with the ball. Wilson is one of the Bills I always find myself rooting for.
I had a chance to sit down and talk with Wilson for a piece we'll air next Monday on News 4. We talked about his interception for a TD vs. Dallas on Monday Night Football last year, about how there's no more talk about his difficult transition from WR to Safety, and about all the charitable work he did this past offseason. Look for on our "Four Questions" segment next Monday on News 4 at Five.
