Did the Bengals get a good deal when Michael Johnson returned to Cincinnati in 2015?
In 2009, the Bengals took a defensive end by the name of Michael Johnson in the third round of the NFL Draft, despite speculation that he would be taken in the first round. He was seen as a one of a kind athlete with great size and strength. Most of the mental and instinctual parts of his game were seen as huge positives, although questions about his effort, fundamentals, and injury history caused teams to avoid him for the first 69 picks of the Draft.
