"We're really proud of this kid," Robert Wang said. "He's been working hard since he was very little, setting his goal with us. He always keep it in his mind what needs to be done. It is very important to him and to us to change the history of the NFL."
Ed Wang will strap on his Bills helmet for the first time Friday, when new head coach Chan Gailey conducts the first rookie camp.

"Ed understands how important this was for his parents." Robert Wang said. "We came from China to the States with our goal that our kids were going to be athletes.
"We educated them since a very early age. We always told them 'You have potential to be athletes, whether it's football or basketball or shot put. You're going to be athletes. To be among the top athletes, it's going to take a lot of effort.' So we've been teaching them since they were very young: 'If you want to get a better life, better results for your future, you better work hard at an early age.' They understand this.
