Two things; if the Bengals brass was so high on him, he would be getting more opportunities, and, it's very doubtful that they would be reluctant to draft a WR in the 1st round due to a pick the previous year in round 6. I wouldn't believe that for even a second unless i saw it come out of the mouth of Marv or Duke.
Core was taken with the 199th pick in the draft though. You know who else was taken 199...
It did come out of the mouth of a pretty high "ranking" individual in their organization. And it was more of a product of what they realized they had after drafting him. They liked him a great deal and thought he could be developed, but they love his desire and how he has taken to coaching so much that they feel even stronger about him now.
