I think he will work out well in his career. He might not end up being a stud, but I don't see him becoming any less than Vinny Rey.
He was a 3rd rounder
You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American

They were also playing for the chance to have a winning season.
Meh, I'd guess that they were content to mail this one in. Draft slotting between 9-7 and 8-8 could be 4-6 positions. Just as this win most likely cost the Bengals any shot at a top 10 pick. Looking most likely at 12-14 for the Bengals now. That will certainly shake up the mock draft game.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Oh yeah. For some reason I was thinking 4th.

No, they weren't half assing it.
Don't forget, we were in the redzone with the chance to tie it up with less than 2 minutes to go in their house (maybe even take the lead were it not for a missed XP) but blocked passes and a fumble killed the drive. Even then they had to have the intentional holding safety to seal the win.

Yeah, I saw that. Good for us that all the appropriate other teams lost, in order to maintain that top 10 pick.
