BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills will host former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton in what will be the Heisman Trophy winner’s best chance to make a final impression on a team with the No. 3 pick in next month’s NFL draft.

Coach Chan Gailey confirmed the player will spend Tuesday at the team’s facility in what will be Newton’s fourth — and longest — visit with the Bills.

Gailey considers this meeting as potentially having the most impact on him, because he’ll get to spend the entire day getting to know Newton. Gailey spoke after addressing Bills season ticket holders at a downtown ballroom on Monday.

Though the Bills have numerous needs to address following a 4-12 season, they haven’t ruled out selecting a quarterback with their first pick.
