Russell Bodine signs with Cincinnati Bengals

Posted May 24, 2014
On Friday, the Cincinnati Bengals signed Russell Bodine to a 4-year deal, meaning the team now has five of their eight draft picks locked up. Bodine was the bench press king at the NFL Combine, going 42 reps at 225 pounds. He uses that strength on the field to bully opponents, and former Tar Heels teammate Giovani Bernard is glad Bodine is a Bengal. (Cincy Jungle)
