  Bengals radio voice Dan Hoard caught up with rookie running back Tahj Brooks recently and learned an interesting eating quirk he has when it comes to salmon.

Brooks puts ketchup on the fish when he eats it, grossing out his old Texas Tech quarterback, Behren Morton.

"I put ketchup on salmon," Brooks noted on the Bengals Booth Podcast. "I just love it, and it tastes good. So that's what I did. ... I think because he's country. He's a country boy so he's like, 'Man you can't do that—it's like a crime against the family.'"

The Red Raiders product could get in the backfield mix this fall as Cincinnati tries to find a bit more balance following a highly focused passing attack on offense last season.

Check out Brooks's full chat with Hoard below.
