Bills sign Dubuque receiver The Buffalo Bills have signed former Dubuque wide receiver Daunta Peterson to a free agent contract and are allocating him to NFL Europe. According to a release on the Bills' Web site, Peterson was a player who was on the Bills' radar screen after a solid workout at the Elite-Pro Scout camp in Indianapolis last summer. "We had him up for a workout this past season and he showed adequate speed, as well as good route running ability and hands," said team pro scouting assistant Kevin Meganck. "He is a raw, athletic young receiver that has flown under the radar since finishing up at Dubuque after the 2005 season and we are looking forward to seeing what he can do over in NFL Europe." Peterson caught 63 passes for 851 yards and five touchdowns at Dubuque. His most impressive performance came against Wartburg, when he caught eight passes for 114 yards. The receiver, who has been timed in the high 4.4s also ran track at Dubuque, competing in the 60, 100, 200 meters. He was part of the 4 x 100 conference champion Dubuque relay team that posted the sixth fastest time in Division III this past spring. The NFL Europe allocation draft is Feb. 23 and players report to their teams on March 8. |
