Notes
Buffalo Bills QB Kevin Kolb said WR T.J. Graham is doing well with the extra reps he is receiving during organized team activities. 'T.J. is doing really good,' said Kolb. 'He's working hard, taking it serious. Obviously with the receiving corps it's a competitive group now. I think everybody can go out there and make plays. T.J. is another special talent with his speed.' Graham has received extra reps because WRs Stevie Johnson (back), Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin are not participating.

Buffalo Bills RB Tashard Choice, WR Marquise Goodwin, WR T.J. Graham and WR Brad Smith have been returning kicks during organized team activities. CB Leodis McKelvin (groin) is also expected to be a candidate for the role but has been limited to individual drills because of offseason groin surgery.

Buffalo Bills WR T.J. Graham has impressed the team early in mini-camps. With WRs Donald Jones and David Nelson gone, Graham has an opportunity to seize a prominent role. 'I feel really good about T.J. Graham,' said WR Stevie Johnson. 'I have been watching him since he got here, but these past couple days he looks like a kid with something on his mind. Like as if he is trying to take over the team or take over this receiving corps. It is going to be fun competing with him and the rest of the guys in the room.'

Buffalo Bills general manager Buddy Nix said the team would like to add a prominent wide receiver in the NFL Draft next year and move WR Stevie Johnson into the slot. WR T.J. Graham's development has been slow this year, and he started his first game in Week 14. 'I think Stevie's a guy that you can play him in the slot or you can play him outside. But we need a big-time outside receiver. T.J. gives us a lot of that, but you still need to get another, bigger guy that can line up out there and catch the ball when he's covered,' Nix said.

Buffalo Bills WR Stevie Johnson second-guessed why a more experienced wide receiver wasn't targeted on a Week 10 play that ended with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing an interception into the end zone to seal a 37-31 loss. Johnson also came to WR T.J. Graham's defense, saying the rookie receiver shouldn't be faulted for running the wrong route because he had never attempted it in practice. 'I don't think it was the wrong play. But just the whole thing leading up to it,' Johnson said, noting that he, WR Donald Jones and TE Scott Chandler were more familiar at running the route. 'We had people in positions where maybe they shouldn't have been. So who knows what would've happened if it was Donald, me or Scott there. So it's no blame on T.J. at all, because he's never run that route in practice or in a game.'
