High profile pick thanks to Vick

Michael Vick's missteps led to a little attention from ESPN for former Demon Terrence McGee on an otherwise unremarkable interception the Buffalo Bills cornerback made Friday night.

The interception came on an underthrown pass in the Bills' exhibition game against the Atlanta Falcons. It came on a throw from Joey Harrington, suddenly thrust into the role of being the Falcons starting QB indefinitely due to Vick's legal crisis.

McGee has made many more extraordinary plays in his previous four NFL seasons, but few have been shown so early in a SportsCenter.

Our other Bill, quarterback Craig Nall, did not throw a pass last night. No indication of any problems for Craig, based on a quick browse of the internet, just a case of the Bills wanting to get starter J.P. Losman more playing time and rookie draft pick Trent Sullivan an extended audition. Craig was mentioned in the Buffalo News' blog earlier this week talking about how the Bills' new stretching program has helped safeguard his hamstring that he hurt last preseason, keeping him from seriously challenging Losman for the starting job.
