A second round draft choice in 2005, and a candidate for Defensive Rookie of the Year, he's been suspended for the last two years for alcohol-related misdemeanors. He has been reinstated by commissioner Goodell and is cleared to play next season. This is pretty much one of the first things to go right for the Cincinnati defense in a long time. His presence won't immediately fix problems, as they're getting (so long as he stayed in shape) what is basically a physically talented rookie. With the loss of Landon Johnson in free agency, however, they need to avoid another season where they're forced to put Robert Geathers in at LB because they have so few healthy bodies at linebacker. If he can't stay out of trouble, then he'll simply be cut and that will be the end of that.
