Reggie McNeal #10

[MarylandAG]

Saw on a message Bengal message board he will wear #10, but listed as a WR.

Now this surprises me, at the least give Reggie a damn chance!:mad:

Bramell

It wasn’t the phone call you’ve heard about, the one that comes during the NFL draft. But it was music to Chris Bramell’s ear nonetheless.

It came from the Cincinnati Bengals, and they were extending an invitation to their May 12 to 14 minicamp to the Saint Francis quarterback.

“What I wanted was an opportunity, and I think that’s what I’m getting right now,” said the 6-foot-4, 235-pound Bramell, who threw for 2,236 yards and 20 touchdowns and ran for 609 yards and 14 scores in leading the Cougars to their second straight NAIA national title game last fall.

At least 10 NFL teams contacted Bramell in the run-up to the draft, but it was no surprise that the Bengals were the team that finally opened the door to him. Cincinnati had been by far the most persistent in staying in touch, he said.

“When it was all said and done, they were the ones who expressed the most interest,” Bramell said. “We knew the draft was a gamble, a long shot. We weren’t relying on it. We just saw it as a possibility, and if it happened, that would be great.

“But in the end, what I wanted was just a chance. So this is sort of what I wanted.”

I thought I read somewhere that Marvin Lewis said they will give Reggie a look at QB. But, from what I gathered it is basically set in stone that he will be a WR.

[MarylandAG]

You are correct, in fact in Marvin's conference after the pick he says something to this effect (not an exact quote, just recalling from memory).

"He has always played QB, and he would like a chance, it is a concern of his, and it is hard on him.....We drafted him as a WR/athlete....I'm not saying we won't give him that chance"


something like that, so I do hope they do what they say and at least give him a look.

Well as long as Reggie represents A&M well and makes a difference on a team, it will be good for Reggie and good for the school.

[Vlyrock]

I agree...if he's smart, he'll do whatever gives him the best opportunity to help the team. I hope he has a good attitude about the whole thing and doesn't get (too) upset if they don't let him be a QB. I mean, geez, you're still getting paid a couple hundred of thousand dollars per year...not a bad start for your first job out of college...

I hope he gets traded to a team smart enough to play him at the right position. The Bengals have Carson Palmer as the established starter, with Craig Krenzel and Anthony Wright to back him up. Now they sign a NAIA guy for camp. Reggie won't get one snap at QB in practice.

I totally agree.
