Greer in a Battle

Jabari Greer is in for the fight of his football life. After three years as a backup, the undrafted free agent finally got his chance...starting 13 games in 2007 after Jason Webster was hurt. Greer struggled in some games, especially against the Patriots. But he also played well, especially against Terrell Owens and the Cowboys. But he might not have played well enough, because the Bills drafted Leodis McKelvin in the first round...signed veteran Will James and drafted two more corners. So instead of fighting for a spot, Greer is fighting to keep his spot. He welcomes the challenge, because it brings out his best. When I told Jabari that last year, he "made it," I was quickly corrected. He takes nothing for granted, and he's smart enough to know there's a reason for the added competition. Despite what some fans might think, he is doing his best to help McKelvin, even if it costs him his starting spot. Veterans helped him when he was a rookie, and its NFL protocol to pass that along. Keep an eye out for the battle at right corner. It should heat up when McKelvin gets more comfortable. It seems likely that the first round pick will take over, but Greer won't make it easy. That should make everyone better.
