KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Many years ago at Brigham Young University, Andy Reid played both guard and tackle along the Cougars offensive line.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan knows cornerbacks. Ryan has coached the likes of Chris McAlister, Darrelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie and even Terence Newman during a short stint as a defensive coordinator at Kansas State, among others.
