Bengals Ced it all at No. 21

Texas A & M offensive lineman Cedric Ogbuehi, the man the Bengals took with the 21st pick Thursday night in the NFL Draft, was less than a half from the end of his college career when he suffered a knee injury on Dec. 29 in the Liberty Bowl.

“I took a hit on the side of the knee,” Ogbuehi told Sports Illustrated. “Thought it was a sprained MCL so I kept playing.”

It wasn’t a sprain. It was a torn ACL.

“It was tough, but I knew that everything happens for a reason,” he said.
