Vincent Rey is the Chris Heisey of the Bengals. Lol...

Great backup for all the spots, can give you a big play off the bench, but overall an exceedingly mediocre talent who just gets the best out of what he has. Can't justify spending more than backup money on him though, no matter how much you might like him.
