It's worth keeping an eye on, in the last few days of training camp. Free agent Jon Corto has been moved to outside linebacker from strong safety, a position switch that occured in the middle of last week.
Corto was impressive last Thursday at his new/old position. He played linebacker in college, at Sacred Heart. With injuries to the LB corps, the Bills felt the need to move Corto back to OLB for awhile. He seemed to thrive at the position, making several tackles on defense. He also got a look at the gunner spot on punt team. In all, Corto looks to be filling the shoes of Coy Wire who was not re-signed by the Bills, and it just could be his ticket onto the roster.
The Orchard Park native told me he feels much more comfortable at LB, and he thinks he can make more plays from that spot. It will be interesting to see if the Bills keep him there through the rest of the preseason, and to see if can mount a challenge for a roster spot.
Corto is our guest tonight at 6:45pm on News 4 at Six, live from Training Camp.
