Report: Bengals to Host Morgan State Wide Receiver Edward Morton-Green

Wide receivers. There's so many possible scenarios that the Bengals could employ envisioning their wide receiver roster heading into the 2010 regular season. Will they be satisfied with the status quo, banking on dramatic improvements from the two receivers drafted in the 2008 NFL Draft? Will Andre Caldwell's offseason training regiment help him enough to combat periods of ineffectiveness that was highlighted with a severe drop in production? Is Quan Cosby going to be given a look to become a regular with the offense or will he stick with punt return duties? And will Jerome Simpson record his second reception in his NFL career this year?!

Or will the Bengals throw Sloppy Joes against the wall and decipher written fortunes seen in the meat that inches down the wall? We do project that the team would draft Dez Bryant if he's still there by the time the Bengals pick 21st. After that, if the Bengals draft any receivers, they'll likely be competing with guys like Caldwell, Simpson, Cosby and even Matt Jones to reset the team's depth chart.

And Morgan State's Edward Morton-Green could be one of those receivers. According to an unnamed leaged source, National Football Post's Joe Fortenbaugh writes that Morton-Green is scheduled to workout with the Bengals next week.

The 6’4”, 215-pounder ran a 4.47 40-yard-dash at his pro day on March 16. Morton-Green caught 24 passes for 324 yards and two touchdowns for the 6-5 Bears in 2009.

Might not seem like much. But Morton-Green sports that "big receiver" that Carson Palmer is known to covet.

It is clear that the Bengals are looking to replace Chris Henry. I still think they take Carlton Mitchell in the 3rd.

Don't get it

Ok, he looks fast and athletic, but does that make him a good football player? If he can’t do much for a 6-5 team that I’ve never heard of, what makes me think he can do much in the NFL going against the Ravens and the Steelers twice a year?

This is our year!

Just a guess here but.....

Average QB + Great WR = Average passing game.
Great QB + Average WR = Great passing game.

Below average QB

I just looked at their stats, the team ran 60% of the time. The QB threw more picks than TDs., and only threw for 132 yds a game.

This guy could be a great pick up in the last 3 rounds.

He looks like a TE

Bring him in late, sure.

Can you say, Mario Arrutia? But then I’m biased against dudes with hyphenated names like chicks.
