Knew a little about him while he was at UGA. Then saw him merking fools in the Senior Bowl(or some post season bowl). Saw him get out on a screen and crush a DB and pull and get up to the 2nd level and squash a LBer. I thought this dude has great feet so I bet he doesn't have much power. Then they got down on the goal line and he drove his man to the back of the end zone.
I said "we gots to get this guy." Then come draft day we did. Since then he's been badass and under ranked. I think when healthy he is better than the Guard that just walked.
Bengals either did a good job scouting or a good job coaching with Boling. A OG with a fourth round grade is almost always garbage.
Since 2010 there have been 58 OGs taken in the fourth round or later. Only 4 of them have been starters for more than one season in the NFL. Boling has been a starter for 5 seasons and none of the others have more than 3.
