BENGALS RE MICHAEL JOHNSON VS. STEELERS LT ALEJANDRO VILLANUEVA
Through three tours in Afghanistan, countless fire fights, and a Bronze Star, Alejandro Villanueva kept the Bengals business card in his wallet.
Tight ends coach Jon Hayes gave it to him after the Bengals 2010 rookie minicamp. It was almost as if Villanueva needed it to prove to himself that he was actually invited out of West Point for a tryout and that he didn’t dream he had just worked out with some of the best players in the country before he followed through on his commitment to the army.
