 Former Bengals right tackle Andre Smith appeared on the Raw Room show this week and dropped a funny story about his weight issues in Cincinnati.

Smith was the team's first-round pick in 2009 and played 10 seasons with Cincinnati across different stints. Smith said the team fined him $500 per pound he was overweight.

"At the time, it would have been like $500 and some per pound," Smith noted on the show. Mike Brown famously called out Smith's weight during that season of Hard Knocks.

Smith even joked teammates claimed he helped pay for the weight room with the fines.
