Encouraging Levi
The most watched battle in training camp for the Bills is going to be the No. 2 cornerback fight between Levi Wallace and Josh Norman. While the Bills have yet to really get on the field with pads, Frazier sized that up.
“With the experience that Josh has, that really sets him apart in a lot of ways, but he’s coming in with a chip on his shoulder. Things didn’t end the way he wanted them to end in Washington,” Frazier said. “I think it’s going to be a really good competition.”
It’s hard to tell exactly who Frazier thinks is the leading candidate here. That’s some solid praise for Norman’s experience, but Frazier also gave some insight into Wallace’s standing on the roster.
As Frazier mentioned, Norman has a “chip on his shoulder.” Well, it sounds like Frazier and the Bills coaching staff is trying to make sure Wallace has one as well via their encouragement for him.
“We always talk to Levi… people are going to look at him as the undrafted free agent. So you’re going to find yourself in these situations, maybe year in and year out. Someone trying to come in and say, ‘I can beat out the undrafted free agent.’ I think that just invokes Levi to really work hard and have a desire to show everybody that… ‘Maybe I wasn’t drafted, but I’m as good as anybody else you’re going to bring in, or better.'” Frazier said.
