Sports Illustrated's Peter King is reporting that Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill will visit with the Bills next week. 

Tannehill is projected by most experts as the third best quarterback in the NFL draft behind Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. 

Tannehill visited with Kansas City this week, will meet with the Browns on Sunday and Monday and then visit Buffalo.  The Bills currently have the 10th overall pick in the first round, Tannehill could be selected as high as third. 

At Texas A&M Tannehill threw for 3744 yards, with 29 touchdown and 15 interceptions last season.  He's also mobile, rushing for more than 300 yards and four touchdowns.  He began his career with the Aggies as a receiver, but switched back to QB during the 2010 season. 

Tannehill is viewed as a very strong, athletic quarterback.  He has good size at 6'4 and 221 pounds, has a strong NFL arm and good mobility.  He's still considered to be a developing quarterback, having played only one full season at the position in college.  He would probably not be ready to start right away in the NFL.
