2) Former OSU teammate Sam Hubbard (can we say future Captain Sam Hubbard) was instrumental in convincing him to come here.
3) Said Joe Burrow has more swagger now than he did as a freshman...and that he is learning to slide more often
4) He gets up at 4AM to get a full workout in BEFORE heading to the stadium to work out more

Really love hearing this. Not just that he is buying in to the culture Zac is building, and Hubbard's role, but Bell is already showing leadership big time. He gets up at 4am to workout.....And puts his teammates first. I mean come-on? This is exactly the kind of players we need. And DJ Reader is much the same. I was already very happy about the signing of Bell, but after this I'm practically giddy.
My hat is off again to Zac, Lou and also Mike Brown for signing these guys, and following it up with a great draft full of leaders and captains while at the same time addressing needs. This is the best offseason the Bengals have had in my lifetime as a Bengal fan hands down. My faith in this organization from top to bottom has been lifted up from the depths of the sewers lol. After such a dismal '19 season, you just cant script this much better. Its like..... a redemption or something.
