Has Michael Oher already Visited?

I recall reading that during the combine, Paul Alexander was interviewing all of the top OT’s and one of them could not even name one current starting OT in the NFL which basically blacklisted him from our list. They wouldn’t say who that was but it made me very curious.

other than our own LT

I couldn’t name one either. I’d say the answer reveals that the young man has more diverse interests than just football…or not.

The AFC North blog has learned the Cincinnati Bengals will host University of Connecticut running back Donald Brown for a visit on Friday.

The Bengals are searching for a change-of-pace back to complement starter Cedric Benson, and Brown could be a potential fit. He rushed for 2,083 yards and 18 touchdowns last season with the Huskies.

Most draft experts peg Brown to go late in the first round or early in the second round. Cincinnati owns the sixth pick second round, which is No. 38 overall.
