The Bengals sure do have a type of RB they like, though...
Corey Dillon: 220 lbs, ran 4.56
Cedric Benson: 227 lbs, ran 4.55
Benjarvus Green-Ellis: 220 lbs, ran 4.6
Jeremy Hill: 233 lbs, ran 4.66
Tra Carson: 227 lbs, ran 4.64
They love them some big slow RBs. Gio's the oddball out there at 202 lbs, but still a not-fast 4.53.
Really liked Tra Carson in college though and behind this O-line our starters have not looked good let
alone behind the 2nd and 3rd OL. Bronson Hill looked worse to me and i remember Carson breaking off
a few good runs in Preseason, surprised at that low of YPC..

Didn't draft Benson, BJGE or Tra Carson. Carson went undrafted.
Rare for a 227+ RB to run a sub 4.5 forty as well and just cause one can it doesn't make them a better RB.
