We're on the line with Cory knocks he's on the subway fresh take hotline whether it's a full back from. Cheektowaga New York JFK high school you beat who is in camp for the Buffalo Bills at the voluntary offseason conditioning camp Europe there. To this camp your path to being sent by the bill's list December Corey. Talk a little bit if you what about coming out of JFK where you're like get a multi sport star but you couldn't find a place to play football is and how it went down. Yeah I was about a 185 I was a mean 185. Both parties are from middle linebacker. And I like to tell my body of people one and unfortunately there's not in my division one programs that are looking through arteries are our linebacker. So on I was I was probably on this one the migrated some of the world and underdeveloped. Our size was. Blood so. Basically. To go with what I was being off goes offered a track and field scholarship. Other book under Playskool too and and AI program almost old buddies. On numerous division one coaches that I might as well that you athlete. And I took that and challenged on so my freshman year went out the middle wrapped their remarks addressed yet. Two and on allies fool and I really just trying my butt off and did everything I could get better. An and I eventually walked on the universe simple slow arm had a tryout oversaw her arm was the reckon you'll coach there. Became a walk on there my sophomore year won our conference battle continue to win carp battle all the way up until my senior year. I'm so it's been a long road on the track and field side and you can longer on the football side. Now did you what year it middling. Collagen Nebraska just one year. Yeah commitment I'll do one year there always told myself that I wanted to be if you want that we don't want to prove those guys wrong people like to do it. And I did to a certain extent. And the same thing kind of happened football. About them over the junior I UB I was picking up a strong enough to finally play football. While I read yet I reds are you have like an interesting dialogue going with then UB coach. Jeff Quinn about trying to play football for the bulls right you're already playing track you were a discus thrower writing UB. Correct chuckle a bit here and I figured Immersion athletes here I triggered. It couldn't hurt to go and try and walk on and I went in at a junior. And I I tried to have meetings with the guys in gutsy coach is offered by the they give me the shoulder this about a guy who hadn't played some years there's no way either bill they yet. And the did not allow me to come up my yeah my junior year and I basically has that bag now my senior I mean it was like a kid and I went in. The summer my senior year and I sat there and author and I had coaches walked by me every single day. Until finally one bickering go to our site comment you know and finally I got them or talk with them. I'd the persuade him to eat so let me walk aren't just a walk our. And end up happening by that time I had a partial scholarships for track and field. And had to forfeit that it to rule that you can't get partial scholarship athlete. On another team so the forfeit my eight and money that I had earned to that point to become a walk on and I was told that. The part we're going to be getting money for them anyway. But three days in the campus between starting fullback. Are treated and had such say it became starting fullback. And started every game since side help Brandon Albert breaks merchant records and at a great time along the way it. How did you jump that high up on the depth chart in just three days in advance. What. Pretty much. Through my body and everything that moved. I've become a mop he's part of like go to then I hit the best players on team on the defense like it's fine. And I tried to make a statement and you know a couple days then things third jump off settlement. I just gave her singer and I was in every meeting I've studied as much like food and water they couldn't buy it or perhaps I'll. And really just he gave my electorate that seems lawyer tried apartment about. Your last year you be football was when he eleven and you graduated in 2012 right. Sold now three years later Corey by the way around aligned with Cory knocks who's a full backing camp for the Buffalo Bills in Western New York native what have you done the last three years. I'll become a better athlete. I think that's the biggest thing for me after that election your football I went back. To finish like seeing your contract field and I promised my a rose coached. It legendary host course nationally even. There will recognize that promised them I would come back and finish my senior year which I actually triggers the high side ever finished up but. Being a thrower you have to carry a little bit more weight and by the time I graduated and O'Donnell attract chill out up to work the power. And I really wasn't as you know I think I could've been. I'm I was pretty strong but I wasn't moving the way that I need to move to get attention from any type of code team. Especially just being a one year guy coming out there looking for guys that can run that can boot. And it just wasn't happening for the for the last year that really dedicated my life. To becoming a better athlete who's eating better than having a better idea on becoming more flexible and it's staying strong on the way I'm. I'm two point I've right now on them. That stronger than ever banned book Christine pomp lighter weight faster. We're more you know all that itself so. It's it's just been a process for me and I'm glad that I finally getting an opportunity in a regular thing I have to. What I from I can tell even working out in and actually working as a trainer and at a local fitness center right during the senate. Yes who am I'm actually cure right now. My eleven year old client I asked her like you take a break. To do radio I regret folders you're not okay what. That I would I would tell you guys that I had expected to be interviewed but she's so lucky you. I think good thanks for doing that will lead to get back here in his second just a couple of more things Cory what dumb so we talked about the first three days here. And it's you you're you're limited what you can do this is mostly conditioning here. How do you think you stack up I mean do you feel I'm sure you don't feel out of place with a budget NFL guys here just you know and her. Honestly I feel like I fit right in and I feel ya right up the some of the things that I do well. As far as strengths are gonna help me. I read really pride myself on trying to be strong like and be other helpful thing I'll see what we're stuff. So I think I'm I'm very top there and all the work that I saw and I'm that a lot of great people around me help me along the way. To become better and I'm I'm really confident that I can move with what about the woman I can it will go but moment. Under through a year prove that I know. You know run routes and doing stuff now you know in the and other places. That because of the TBA. And we had a great work out today were weird at the passes and down. It's been. It's been great. You'll rom you resigned along with another interesting prospect there a couple of days after last season ended Cink David Crist may have hurt was signed the former. The nation's college basketball player did the bills working guys out like that before they signed you're out of the even get on the Buffalo Bills radar. Yet there was there was very oh worked out. It was religious faith and how it happened Chris Kaman. To our facility feature as she hitter he had a work out. Bill and either obvious these little bit raw and in the and so often there is phenomenal athletes so basically what they told them was if you go out. And become better for all things you know touched the ball run out and learn a little bit more about the game. Europe physical spokesman we did we could use the guy like cute so he and help our facility here. On the diet expert training and that's when I got contact where. I'm his agent who has critical content that would organization and then I I kind of you know pitch might welcome a little bit and use Hughes. More than generous and then help me out and I got from the some people and an electorate that's also pretty much other sister. Corey it's it's a new buffalo offense under Greg Roman that. Does several for a fullback the bills obviously. Made a pretty big play for Jerome Felton and accomplished NFL fullback but. At the very least with some within work that they got for a full back here at the very least you'd think he'd be able that gets some reps in some pre season games and get some. Some takedown heard the bill for the rest of the NFL. Yeah absolutely amen I was excited that they are the better I like what are well. He's obviously been a pro bowler on the all pro fullback. I'm a poem read OS that I wanna learn as much like an eye on the he's been married knows he knows what to do you know how to do it. So my Michael the learn as much like and but also compete at the same time. You know you're not gonna work taker you're you're starting fullback and banged around and who isn't creepy but yeah as many reps like yours is the better for me. Corey we wish you well let's get back to work out with Europe with your client thinker in that thank you very much for taken some time of the tonight we'll see around the building over the next couple weeks or so thank you coming on the Arabs.
