STAT OF THE DAY
Will have more coming next week about the Bengals homegrown offense/defense. Here's a look from 538 on the percentage of homegrown players across the league. The connection between homegrown and success is not hard to see. Check the bottom five on that list. Four of the five teams won five games or less last year. The other had Andrew Luck.
Green Bay: 92.8%
Pittsburgh: 85.1%
Dallas: 79.9%
Cincinnati: 77.9%
Seattle: 76.0%
Draft. And. Develop.
