"Sleeper" Role Perfect for Sam Aiken

Posted Aug 15, 2005

"Sam is a workout warrior," said Bills receivers coach Tyke Tolbert. "As a matter of fact, I was talking to [defensive line] coach [Tim] Krumrie, who doesn't look at the receivers very much, and he told me that he always notices Sam Aiken doing a lot of good things. Sam's efforts have not gone unnoticed." Aiken has become one of the leaders of Buffalo's highly-regarded special teams unit, helping Bobby April's squad become No. 1 in the league. (Buffalo Bills)
