Wow...He ran through a lot of big holes, but he also shook off an LSU LB like he wasn't even there. Looks like a very upright, one-cut runner. Somewhat like Jeremy Hill. Have to look in to character and ball-security issues (not saying they are bad, just don't know).

Good find!

If a RB is picked up as a UDFA, great. I would hope they don't use a draft pick on one though. A RB would likely not replace any of the four the Bengals have (Bernard, Hill, Burkhead, Peerman) and likely would go to PS. Also, I think there are other backup spots where a late-round pick might be more useful and have a better opportunity to make the final roster.

Depends if the FO is looking for a future ST stud to replace Peerman down the road and they don't think
the player will become a UDFA. If he is Darrin Simmons guy he will take him regardless of position.
