From www.buffalobills.com, lead journalist Chris Brown writes about rookie offensive tackle Demetrius Bell, the 2007 Demons' All-America who made the Bills' 53-man roster Saturday:
"....Bell was considered a developmental type player. However, Bell learned fast and got a ton of playing time in the preseason with the likes of Jason Peters absent and Patrick Estes and Matt Murphy both injured for a time.
Bell let his athletic ability take over and he came on so fast that putting the Northwestern State product on the practice squad would simply be too big a risk.
“For him it’s probably been really good that we’ve been limited at the spot and hurt by injury because he’s gotten a lot more time than he would have,” said head coach Dick Jauron. “It’s really accelerated his development and he’s worked really hard at it. I probably didn’t anticipate it at this point we’d be this happy, but I certainly didn’t anticipate we would see this much of him in the game situation. He did a nice job.”
