When the Bengals spent their second-round pick on tight end Drew Sample out of Washington, it caused some pretty hard backlash. Almost no one thought Sample would even go on the second day of the draft, much less in Round 2.
Now that we have gotten to the point in the offseason where players are actually taking the field, Sample has become a pretty common topic of conversation. Even one of the Bengals best players, wide receiver A.J. Green, told Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com that he was impressed.
