1st Round, Eleventh Overall: Bills Select Leodis McKelvin

Oh where do parents find names like "Leodis"? Well, smart guy, it turns out that Leodis was the Olde English name for the woods that eventually became the English township of Leeds. The word "Leodis" is mentioned several times by the Venerable Bede, and there are few sources as venerable as the Venerable Bede, who was known to kick back with a forty of Olde English in his day.

So to scout Leodis you have to get live with Leeds. McKelvin is a quick one whose return skills had opposing coaches shakin' all over during his career at Troy. Opponents like Louisiana-Lafayette treated McKelvin as a substitute for Devin Hester, kicking away from him so much that it gave the young man blues. "I wanted to return some, but the offense was getting good field position," McKelvin said after the Trojans win. When McKelvin did get his hands on a return, he often skipped the whole field position thing and just scored an old fashioned touchdown. His eight return touchdowns tied the all-time NCAA record. McKelvin is more than just a return man. Scouts love his lateral quickness and ability to cut, and he's got a rep as a hard worker who won't get all emo after a few blown plays or an angry coach spittle shower. McKelvin is headed to Buffalo, where coordinator Perry Fewell likes to mix a lot of safety blitzes into his Cover-2 gumbo. He'll need that tough-mindedness when he's sitting in a zone one play and left on an island the next. And when he's man-up on Randy Moss or Wes Welker twice per season. In short, there's plenty to get excited about with McKelvin, whose first name conjures images of foggy medieval forests and chunky Pete Townsend power chords. Oh, and by the way, his middle name is Anquane, which sounds Latin but appears to just be "anquan" with an "e" on the end. Where do parents find these names?
