The Facts: The Bills are taking a flier on a former first-round draft choice scouted by GM Buddy Nix when he was in San Diego. The Bills signed Davis. He was released by San Diego a week ago.
Diehards Line:Davis was the 30th overall pick in the 2007 draft out of Louisiana State but never panned out for the Chargers. The Bills don't have a real need at receiver but think Davis is worth a shot. "Buster's got a ton of ability but he's just never really done it," said HC Chan Gailey. "He's worth taking a look at to see if he can come do something special, because he's really an extremely talented young man. ..." Talented but tender. Davis had 20 catches as a rookie in 2007 but appeared in only five games in 2008 and 2009 combined due to injuries. Last season he had 20 catches through seven games but then went out for the year with a groin injury. Davis had surgery on his groin last November. He said he is fully recovered. We'd advise against getting too excited about his arrival in Buffalo.
