Training Camp: News, Notes & Updates
I feel like Paul Alexander's influence is still with the Bengals. 


Hopkins, a fourth-year man, is an unassuming sort who wouldn’t dare to begin to say he’s their most valuable lineman. But his line mates and coaches have high regard for him. How smart is this guy? Lapham and assistant offensive line coach Ben Martin both called him “a savant,” in separate conversations Monday an hour apart.

“He could play all five. I could see that,” Lapham says. “Look, this guy is smart. He’s a savant-type. Some players are smart, but they can’t translate it to football. He can. He’s smart of the field and definitely on it.”

“The guy’s built perfectly for a swingman,” Martin says. “His arms are longer than you think. The guy’s smart. He’s a savant. And not just football. If some random trivia thing comes up, he’s all over it.”

That’s smart.
