Bills 7th Round Pick: "I'm a little bit faster" than Hernandez

Interesting read on Bills TE Chris Gragg, who has drawn comparisons to Hernandez and is a former teammate of Ryan Mallett:

Gragg not shying away from Hernandez comparisons

Straight line (10, 20, 40) he is.

But not in agity.

Shuttle : Hernandez 4.18, Gragg : 4.51
3 Cone : Hernandez 6.83, Gragg : 7.08

And it's the agility that makes Hernandez.

Do we really want to know about the Bills 7th round pick? If the Pats thought he would be another Hernandez, I'm sure they would have selected him with one of their 7th rounders.

I was just digging through this morning and noticed the comment and didn't realize he's a guy who also played with Mallett. He's someone I hadn't heard about so it will be interesting to see if he actually makes it far enough to play against New England this season.

I liked him in the 3rd or 4th round where I thought he would go. He would have been good insurance if Hernandez missed time especially in the 7th round.

Why are we talking about a STIFF!

Agreed. Why are we even talking about this. Maybe he is "a little bit faster" than Hernandez. So what? I'm sure most starting High School QB's are a "little bit faster" than Tom Brady, but...you know...the sentence not worth finishing...

I really wanted to draft Gragg late, I am intrigued by his athleticism, and think he could have been a better backup to Hernandez than Hooman.

Faster than Hernandez...to that I say..."Ya...so?

Its not like he's not wrong. Most NFL tight ends in the same "weight class" as Hernandez are as fast or faster. Hernandez is a product of his suddenness and agility, and everyone including this 7th rounder will acknowledge that.




Overall, definitely the most underwhelming divisional trash talk of the year so far. Okay idea, terrible execution. He should ask Stevie Johnson for pointers on how to offend people.

Jay Cutler said he had a stronger arm then Elway..................................

E.J. Manuel is a little faster than Tom Brady. Good for the Bills.

Robert Kraft is faster than Ralph Wilson.

for such a crap team, the Bills sure do talk a lot of @#$%

How is that **** talking?

Jesus, people here are offended by the weirdest things. Back away from the ledge, that goes to everyone.

I wish the kid luck hope he turns out to be as good as hernandez, or at lest makes the team but odds are not good he went in the 7th round of a weak draft and Hernandez went in the 4th round of one of the deepest Drafts in the last 10 years, Jimmy Graham. Jermaine Gresham, Rob Gronkowski, Dennis Pitta, just a few of the TE's that were with Aaron Hernandez in that Draft

I went to the link and what he said doesn't even qualify as "trash talk." He simply tried to make an honest comparison of himself as a Seventh Rounder with a rising NFL star. His mistake was thinking that it wouldn't be taken out of context by a ravenous, 24/7 media machine and that it wouldn't then be distorted by people with nothing better to do.
