Warriors in the Pros: Pisa, Veikune

ESPN.com's Tim Graham reports that Pisa Tinoisamoa will meet with the Buffalo Bills.
The Buffalo Bills are bringing in linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa for an interview Wednesday, and a source familiar with the trip believes the tackling machine is particularly excited about the opportunity.
Bills coach Dick Jauron doesn't mind smaller, quicker linebackers. Tinoisamoa played the weak-side slot in the Rams' 4-3 defense, and the Bills happen to have a need there.
And Steve King has an article profiling David Veikune on ClevelandBrowns.com. He talks about making the switch from college to the NFL as well as from defensive end to inside linebacker.
"Usually, a player at end going to linebacker goes to the outside,"head coachEric Mangini explained of the normal procedure for a defensive lineman learning to play standing up.

Going to the NFL. And going to inside linebacker from defensive end. So which one does Veikune think is tougher?

"I don't know," he said. "Maybe both. They are both huge challenges.

"But I can handle them."

He's already doing a good job of it.
