Why Bryson Albright, aka 'Big Bird,' can make Bills' final roster

Shaq Lawson? He's out until October, at the earliest, because of shoulder surgery. Manny Lawson? He's under investigation by the NFL for a potential violation of the league's personal conduct policy, putting him at risk for a suspension. IK Enemkpali? He's out for the season with a torn ACL.

The Buffalo Bills have taken hit after hit at outside linebacker since the spring, which could be welcome news for Big Bird's chances of the making the 53-man roster.

Yes, Big Bird. Or at least that's what coach Rex Ryan calls updrafted rookie Bryson Albright, a 6-foot-5 pass rusher whose growing mess of curly, blonde hair makes him look like more of a product of Sesame Street than Miami (Ohio) University.
