BUFFALO, N.Y. -- As the Elam family arrived in Buffalo hours after cornerback Kaiir Elam was selected No. 23 overall by the Bills, Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells shared details over the phone about Kaiir's new home.
“[Parcells] was like, ‘These people come to these games on Friday night and tailgate [until Sunday],’” former NFL safety Abram Elam, Kaiir’s father, said.
Abram, who played seven NFL seasons, has his own memories of Highmark Stadium -- he made his only career pick-six there on a 92-yard return when he was with the New York Jets in 2008.
