But slowly, we found out this is the position for me because I'm a hitter and an aggressive type player. I think that's what they are looking for. Driver is a superb athlete with good range and big-play ability. He tied an NCAA record last season by returning two fumbles for touchdowns in the first quarter against Navy. He has just 18 starts on defense, but the Bills don't consider him a project.
Driver brings an extra dimension as a return specialist.
He ranks fifth on Notre Dame's career list with 1,059 yards on kickoff returns. His open-field tackling also will be an asset on kickoff and punt return coverage. O'Leary would seem to be a long shot to make the Bills' roster given their depth at tight end, with Jay Riemersma, Sheldon Jackson and Bobby Collins. But his ability as a long-snapper is important with the release of Ethan Albright. I was hoping I would get my foot in the door long snapping, but I know I have a lot of great things I can contribute at tight end.
