A Former Local High School Standout Is Our Answer At FB

The Tampa Bay Bucaneers recently cut B.J. Askew, For those who aren't familiar with Askew he is from Cincinnati and was a standout at Colerain high school WHere some say that Askew and Daryl Robinson could have been the arguably the best highschool backfield ever assembled. The only bad thing about the guys is that he went to Michigan in where according to WIkipedia,  ranks first all-time among Michigan running backs in reception yards. While at Michigan he was the lead blocker for Bengals former runnning back Chris Perry. BJ Askew is very versatile and according to Scout.com  Helped Buccaneers offense average 4.17 yards per rush, the second-highest average in team history. Finished season with 18 receptions for 175 yards (9.7 avg.) and four special teams tackles. B.J. is 6-3 233 And is only 29 years old, he brings more experience and provides the same versatility as Fui at the fullback position. He is even rated as being a better fullback than Naufau Tahi. Fullback is an obvious need for the Bengals that was not addressed in the draft so why not take the former 3rd round selection from Cincy? I like what this guy could bring to our team. With him being from Cincy I believe there is a good chance a workout could be scheduled soon. I really would like to see this guy in stripes.
