Bills sign small school standout lineman to practice squad
The Buffalo Bills have signed OL Manase Foketi to the team’s Practice Squad and released OL Bryant Browning.
Foketi entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Denver Broncos following the 2013 NFL Draft and was released prior to the regular season. The 6-5, 310-pound offensive lineman spent one year at West Texas A&M (2012) after two seasons at Kansas State (2010-11) and one year at Mt. San Antonio (CA) College. He played left tackle as a senior at West Texas A&M and earned the Gene Upshaw Division II Offensive Lineman of the Year award. Foketi will wear No. 63.
Foketi was one of my top small school prospects entering the draft last year. This kid is an athletic freak.
