Billy Price was my favorite pick, but my favorite player we picked up wasn't one we drafted, but a guy we signed as a UDFA out of Arkansas State – Ja'Von Rolland-Jones.
For you old timers out there, you'll probably remember one of the greatest Bengals of all time also played at Arkansas State. Who can name him?
Today I'm TEAM SEWELL. Tomorrow TEAM PITTS. Maybe TEAM CHASE. I can't decide, and glad I don't have to.

Ding Ding Ding. And we have a winner!!
Roland-Jones ought to be another good pass rusher to get into the rotation. With Hubbard, Andrew Brown, and Roland Jones, I think our Dline should be much better.

That's INSANE!! I remember being ticked off when he signed the WFL contract. Paul Brown must have been ticked off too. He traded him to Philly for some pretty high draft picks.

Before tackles were an official stat he was credited with over 200 in one 14 game NFL season.
In the mid 70's there was no free agency, so draft picks were even more valuable than they are today. The Eagles still gave us two first round picks plus a second rounder for Bergey.
For a while he was the highest paid defensive player in the league.
Bergey was a freakin' stud.

I'm really hoping for an all expense paid trip to the bathroom. I've been holding it too long .
