The NFL Combine entered day its third day Friday and there were no Bearcats in the group that was available for the media. This group included the offensive skill position players, quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers. With no UC guys to talk to we settled for a Syracuse guy. Bengals.com head writer Geoff Hobson has been around football for many years. Before working for the Bengals he was a beat writer that covered the team for many years. He was in Mobile for the Senior Bowl, saw the Bearats up close and personal and expects them to hold their own again this week.
Geoff has been in the game long enough to have a feel for what the "buzz" is about Bearcats in the national media. So far it's been a bit low key but he thinks that could change with Connor Barwin on Saturday.
Geoff remembers years ago when he was writing stories sitting on the edge of a potted plant in the RCA Dome when it was a "low key" event. So he has seen his fair share of combines and from what he's seen the boys from UC are ready for what they are getting into. He thinks they are especially strong in the interview area when they sit down with teams.
We will continue our coverage of the combine Sunday when the three defensive backs go through the media room. The big question then is weather or not Mike Mickens will be able to work out. He left the Senior Bowl with a sore knee and has been working on it ever since.
Connor Barwin will be in front of the media Saturday, check Geoff Hobsons article on Bengals.com for coverage of Connor. Click Here. Also check out the NFL Network on TV or the Web site. Click here.
