He is playing some fullback for the Bengals and apparently turning some heads.

He is about 270 lbs, with roughly 8% bodyfat.  I have linked his draft profile and combine results.  I don't think the running game has ever been much better than when the Bengals had a healthy (and not as fat) Jeremy Johnson leading the way for Rudi Johnson. This guy is a beast, and if he can contribute on special teams, perhaps he could work in a rotation with Hewitt and help keep him healthy and productive through the season and beyond.

I was just wondering if anyone who has attended camp has seen this guy in action as well.

Marvin said 271 talking with Solly and Takeo Spikes (guessing you heard that one based on the bodyfat comment) and seemed EXCITED in talking about him.

As Hewitt has received an extension, he won't be going anywhere.  But I can foresee the roster playing out to involve both a H-Back and Fullback. Maybe we'll roll with 3 TE, 1 HB, 1 FB, 4 RB.
