The Bills confirmed that seventh-rounder Michael Jasper, who is down to 378 pounds after tipping the scales at 448 in January, projects as a nose tackle in their 3-4 defense.
“This is an amazing kid, now,” GM Buddy Nix said. “He vertical jumps 32 inches and he long jumps like 9-5 and he dunks a basketball with both hands. His body fat is not real high. He’s an exceptional athlete.” Of the intriguing developmental project, Bills scout Matt Hand added, “Scouts dream of something like this. We’re really hoping this kid pans out for us.”
