Every NFL Franchise has it’s own pantheon of football gods. That group of players who are not only historic in terms of talent, but even more than that, these are the players who you have to talk about when you tell the story of your team. This is part of a 32 article series where I tell you who I would put among that elite group. For this, it’s Mt. Rushmore. 4 players only. The 4 heads you would carve on a mountain that would live forever as the greatest in franchise history.
Now, I don’t profess to know the history of every franchise in the league. So, I did my research. And part of that was reaching out to you fans. But if you don’t agree with the 4 guys I have selected, come find me on Twitter at www.twitter.com/nfldraftboard and let me hear what you think.
Cincinnati Bengals-In a historical sense, the Bengals may be best known for being on the wrong end of 2 of the worst Super Bowl losses in NFL history. But that doesn’t impact the fact that they have had a lot of really grea...

This past Friday I was lucky enough to be a part of a great event put on by the Athletes United Foundation . I was on a flag football team sponsored by Rich’s, Give and Go and John Morrell that competed in a celebrity flag football tournament at Paul Brown Stadium.

Bengals rookie tight end Orson Charles could turn out to be a real steal for the Bengals.
Today is the 1st in a series of 10 Rookies who may be considered Underdogs but I think can be contributors or in some cases very good NFL players.

The Bengals used the 17th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft on Alabama’s Dre Kirkpatrick, but if you ask the Cincinnati Enquirer’s Joe Reedy, Kirkpatrick won’t open the season as the starter. The Bengals have plenty of veteran cornerbacks, including Leon Hall, Nate Clements, Jason Allen, Pacman Jones, and Terence Newman, but needed Kirkpatrick to provide youth.
Reedy predicts...

Once viewed as an elite prospect, Taylor Mays fell to the 2nd round in 2010, where he was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers. Many felt the 49ers got a steal with him there, but he turned out to be the exact opposite of a steal for them. Mike Singletary, his biggest backer, was fired after Mays’ rookie year. Jim Harbaugh came in, decided he didn’t like Mays and shipped him to...
