He is pretty solid against the run, but has trouble covering fast wideouts.
Kind of like Ndukwe was at Notre Dame, and he turned out to be decent for the Bengals.

The only Irish player drafted...there were only 2 on the list....

I feel you. As I have mention ed a couple of times, Kenny Britt is from my high school. He was not the first player drafted, but the first since Dahnan Hugues was drafted out of Iowa by the Chiefs some years ago. Britt also has the "honor" of being the first player in Rutgers history to be drafted in the first round.

He also said that Bengals president Mike Brown, along with Lewis, is concerned with the club-record list of players on injured reserve this past season and the team plans to examine the issue.
