I looked up his combine numbers and found the following interesting numbers:

He isn't quite 5'8".  Short guy with short arms.  

He is over 180 lbs.  Judging by the picture as well, he is pretty stout.  That is actually a good thing.  

His 40 time is not impressive, but his short shuttle (4.01) and his 3-cone (6.76) were incredibly impressive.  He also had great burst off the line in his 10 yard split.  

I will likely get killed for this, and while his size is a little shorter (not much) and lighter (again, not much) than this guy, his testing is almost the exact same scores as former UDFA, Wes Welker.  Same 40 time, same short shuttle, same vertical.   Add in that he is an experienced NFL punt returner and I think the Bengals might have their backup slot WR.
