Rose is fast, is a natural ball hawk and supported the run very well. Oh and yes, he tackles well. Premier corner in the CFL.

I bash the Bengals as much as anyone, but this is a smart pickup - zero risk and he has a legit shot to make the roster.

And he is a winner - played exceptional through the playoffs and the Grey Cup game which we of course won.

I think the Bengals worked out 8 players from the CFL , thye have not done that for years or ever and it should be common practice -  there are some gems up here.

It probably helps to have your father-in-law having recently been a HC in the CFL. Should be some good knowledge and connections to tap into there.
