The newest Buffalo Bills made their way down to Canton, Ohio Saturday for a day at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The visit is part of the NFL's expanded rookie orientation program.
Each of the 32 NFL clubs will send their rookie contingent to the Hall as the trips are designed to teach incoming players about the history of pro football and give them a greater appreciation of the NFL and the opportunities and responsibilities ahead.
Growing up in Canton, Bills fourth-round pick Reggie Corner played his high school football 110-feet from the Hall of Fame and said being a professional it's even more inspirational to him now.
"The Hall of Fame is definitely an inspirational place," said Corner. "It's a goal and you have to go above and beyond to get there. Your dream is to play professional football, but to get there is to the extreme."
Joining the Bills rookies on their tour was one of Buffalo's seven Hall of Famers offensive lineman Joe DeLamielleure. The 2003 inductee shared some of the stories from his career with the newest Bills to enhance their Hall of Fame experience.
"Previously the only thing I had known was that they lost four Super Bowls," said Bills third-round pick Chris Ellis. "So now just learning the history of the Bills and what you don't know in the game the better we're able to make of our own situation."
Following their tour the rookies were also shown a special film produced by NFL Films.
