C.J. Uzomah 'lit it up' in Bengals OTAs; should make 53-man roster

C.J. Uzomah is now in a great position to not only make the final roster, but get significant playing time if no other tight ends are added before the NFL season begins.

One of the biggest revelations of Bengals OTAs was rookie tight end C.J. Uzomah.

A fifth-round pick out of Auburn in this year's NFL draft, the 6'5", 260-pound Uzomah was primarily a blocking tight end in the Tigers' offense, but did catch six touchdowns during the past two seasons. His size and athleticism made him an attractive prospect for the Bengals, and he's doing his best to reward them.
