Per Bengals.com he showed up a lot bigger and stronger than last season:

So will the increased strength and size translate into on field success? Did he lose any speed in the process? If Clarke is indeed able to fully contribute that provides a big boost to us getting our DL rotation back. If he does show he's ready the DL group could be:
DE: Johnson, Dunlap, Gilberry, Clarke
DT: Atkins, Peko, Sims, Hardison
On the edge: Thompson, Still
I could be wrong as to the position groups, and indeed we may decide to keep 9 or 10 DL this time out and go light elsewhere. What do you think?
