Greer's Not Giving Up

Coaches always say it--"Competition brings out the best.." And in this case, it looks to be true. The Bills have been raving about the play of veteran cornerback Jabari Greer (left) in the three weeks of organized team activity so far.
I noticed it, too, while watching recent practices. After 13 starts last year, Greer seems poised and confident in his ability. And he remains one of the fastest players on the roster.
Some observers may have written Greer off as a starter, after the Bills used their first round draft pick on Leodis McKelvin. But Defensive Coordinator Perry Fewell says not so fast.
"This made Jabari Greer compete even more," Fewell said today. "It's not like it's hands down, Leodis McKelvin is the guy. Jabari Greer has really stepped up his game."
The Bills also are keeping an eye on veteran Will James as a contributor at cornerback. If you're asking me, assuming everyone's healthy, McKelvin will probably be the opening day starter at corner opposite Terrence McGee. But look for Greer, James, and maybe even rookie Reggie Corner to get plenty of reps, and plenty of chances to bid for a starting spot, during training camp.
