Rose is fast, is a natural ball hawk and supported the run very well. Oh and yes, he tackles well. Premier corner in the CFL.

I bash the Bengals as much as anyone, but this is a smart pickup - zero risk and he has a legit shot to make the roster.

And he is a winner - played exceptional through the playoffs and the Grey Cup game which we of course won.

I think the Bengals worked out 8 players from the CFL , thye have not done that for years or ever and it should be common practice - there are some gems up here.

Come on, man:

- Jeanty (named in this thread)
- Kyries Hebert (named in this thread)
- Baby Hawk (named in this thread)
- Rashaun Simonise (didn't amount to anything, but still looked at)
- Diontae Spencer
- Louchiez Purifoy
- Matt O'Donnell

I mean, they've done this for a long time:
