He grew up here, played football here, played college ball a few hours away and then came back for the pros (he's similar to Huber except Huber went to college right in Cincinnati too), so I bet they bring him in to talk about the night life (pre-COVID), restaurant scene, things to do, history etc of Cincinnati. Selling a free agent on signing is a lot about the team and the players, but it's also about the area.

That would be my guess, but I'd also gander that he's being groomed to be the next Thornton/Peko/MJ guy, who is the dean of the Oline and one of the faces of the D.

I'd expect an extension for him and Bates this year; if he wasn't in future plans, I highly-doubt he'd be taken on FA recruitments.
