ONTHEAIR Johnson can play on the outside, but is best suited to play an inside slot position. Johnson is known for his outgoing personality and colorful touchdown celebra- tions that have, on occasion, gotten him into trouble. Former Bills coach Chan Gailey benched Johnson for the final three quarters of Buffalo's 2011 season finale. The discipline occurred af- ter Johnson was penalized a second time that season for an excessive touchdown cel- ebration. The Bills, who haven't made the playoffs in 14 sea- sons, are counting on Wat- kins to add a dynamic threat to an offense that lacked consistency last sea- son under rookie quarter- back E.J. Manuel. Whaley acknowledged the risk he took with a "win-now" ap- proach by giving up a No. 9 pick this year, plus a first- and fourth-round pick next year in a trade with Cleve- land to select Watkins. That's fine with Watkins, who arrived in Buffalo ear- lier in the day. "Throughoutmywholelife I've had high expectations of myself," Watkins said. "I can't wait to get it started." In three seasons, Wat- kins set 23 school records, including career marks with 240 catches and 3,391 yards. His 27 career touchdowns matched a school record.

Johnson FROM PAGE 1 By Will Graves The Associated Press PITTSBURGH Derick Bras- sard scored twice, including New York's first power-play goal in 10 games, and the Rangers avoided elimina- tion with a 5-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 5 of the Eastern Con- ference semifinals Friday night. Brassard ended New York's 0-for-36 slide with the man advantage by beat- ing Marc-Andre Fleury late in the first period. Ryan McDonagh added another power-play goal in the sec- ond to help the Rangers force Game 6 in New York on Sunday. Chris Kreider and Kevin Klein also scored, and Hen- rik Lundqvist stopped 31 shots. Evgeni Malkin had his third goal of the series for Pittsburgh. Fleury made 30 saves but lacked the crisp- ness that allowed the Pen- guins to sweep Games 3 and 4 in New York. Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma stressed the im- portance of not letting the Rangers back in the series. Rangers veteran forward Martin St. Louis arrived in Pittsburgh just hours before faceoff after spending the night in Montreal following the unexpected death of his mother, France. NHL PLAYOFFS Rangers top Penguins, stay alive By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press WASHINGTON Paul George had his best game of the se- ries with 23 points and eight rebounds, and the Indiana Pacers held the Washington Wizards to a franchise-low playoff total Friday night in an 85-63 victory for a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Confer- ence semifinal series. Roy Hibbert was again a factor for Indiana with 14 points, five rebounds and three blocks. Washington made only 24 field goals, another team postseason worst, on 73 at- tempts, 32.9 percent. That included 4 of 16 on 3-point- ers, and it didn't get much better on freethrows,where the Wizards were 11 of 21. So much for the band- wagon-hopping in Washing- ton. There were boos on oc- casion, and most of the fans started heading to the ex- its after George's 3 with 3 minutes left made it 75-58. Game 4 is Sunday night in Washington. George came in averag- ing 14.5 points and six re- bounds after two games against the Wizards. The score was 17-all af- ter the first quarter, and Indiana led 34-33 at half- time. It was only the 13th NBA playoff game in the shot-clock era, which dates to the 1954-55 season, that two teams combined for 67 or fewer first-half points, ac- cording to STATS. NBA PLAYOFFS Ge or ge , Pa ce rs b ea t Wi za rd s By Dave Skretta The Associated Press Peter Stetina is an Ameri- cancyclistridinginoneofthe premier events in his home country for a U.S.-based team against a field filled withmostlyEuropeanrivals. No pressure, right? The youngster from the BMC Racing Team will try to defend the title won by teammate Tejay van Gar- deren last season when he starts the Tour of California on Sunday in Sacramento. But he will be doing more than just that: He'll be try- ing to defend the home turf. While the Giro d'Italia is drawing worldwide atten- tion the next three weeks as one of the sport's three grand tours, and the Tour de France looms later this summer as its premier race, the Tour of California is one of the rare opportunities for American riders to stay at home. British star Bra- dly Wiggins and Slovakian sprinter Peter Sagan are the ones forced to travel. "We're always racing in Europe, and you have that extra motivation and you go that much deeper when you are at your home race," Stetina said Friday. "I live in Santa Rosa. My friends are coming out to visit, and ev- erybody is getting ready for this race, even more so than the Tour de France. But it's all good energy." The USA Pro Challenge in Colorado has grown into another significant Amer- ican race, but it still does not have the history of the Tour of California. Now in its ninth year, it has grown from a largely continental event into one that attracts some of the best interna- tional riders. TOUR OF CALIFORNIA Patriotism reigns in race five seasons there before be- ing let go. "I learned everything that he did right and every- thing that he did wrong," Carr said. "He told me that if he could do anything, he hopes he made the path smoother for me as I tran- sition into the NFL." Derek Carr was one of the most productive quar- terbacks in college football last season. He threw for 5,083 yards and 50 touch- downs with only eight inter- ceptions in a spread offense at Fresno State that in- cluded many quick screens and almost exclusively shot- gun formations. He also won the 2013 Sammy Baugh Award, which goes to the nation's top passer. Carr is one of just 19 quarterbacks in FBS his- tory to throw for more than 10,000 career yards and 100 touchdowns. His ratio of 113 touchdown passes to 24 interceptions is the sec- ond-highest in FBS history for all quarterbacks with at least 100 career touchdown passes. Carr played in a pro-style offense under former coach Pat Hill in 2011 and was con- sidered to have one of the strongest arms in the draft and was a possible first- round pick. Carr lasted un- til early in the second round and the Raiders pounced when he was still there de- spite having already added Schaub. "He's a young quarter- back," Raiders director of personnel Joey Clinkscales said. "We aren't expect- ing him to walk in the door and be the starter. We have a starter. So whenever that time occurs we're confident the kid will be ready to play." "You just sit there and wait for your phone to ring," Carr said. "It's weird. You sit there, you hope it rings with every pick that goes by. But I got to be honest, the way it worked out, the place I'm going and the coaches and players I'll be around, I couldn't be happier." This marked the second straight year the Raiders traded for a potential start- ing quarterback before drafting another. Neither of last year's acquisitions worked out as Matt Flynn was beaten out by Terrelle Pryor for the starting job and eventually released af- ter coming over from Seat- tle. Fourth-round pick Ty- ler Wilson did not make the roster out of training camp, having been beaten out by undrafted free agent Matt McGloin. This is the fourth time since 1981 the Raiders have taken a quarterback in the first two rounds, having taken Todd Marinovich (1991) and JaMarcus Russell (2007) in the first round and Marques Tuiasosopo (2001) in the second round. Jackson will add to an overhauled offensive line that also includes free- agent tackle Donald Penn and guards Austin Howard and Kevin Boothe. Jackson was a four- time all-SEC selection who started 52 games and is known as a power blocker. "'I think he can come in and play pretty early," Clinkscales said. "I think he's a powerful, physical young man. When you're building a guard, physi- cally, that's what they look like. Once he gets on the field and starts competing, we'll see how it turns out."
