WASHINGTON, D.C. --Howard University standout Keith Pough joins 16 undrafted rookie free agents, who have agreed to terms with the Buffalo Bills on Monday, April 29."He was a dominant player in the MEAC conference. He's 6'2" and 235 and he has long arms and just needs to get a little bit bigger and stronger," said Buffalo Bills College Scott Tom Roth. "His production was great at Howard. He's got pass rush ability, a great motor. He ran 4.9 at the Combine, but he plays around 4.75. He plays a lot faster. A SAM backer for us."
During his career, the Orangeburg, S.C., native recorded 349 tackles, while setting a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) career record in tackles for losses with 71.
