Six years ago, the Cincinnati Bengals made a bold move by selecting tight end Jermaine Gresham in the first round. Through many twists and turns, it appears that Gresham is leaving The Queen City, so we examine the effectiveness of that selection.
Back in 2010, the Cincinnati Bengals' then-offensive coordinator, Bob Bratkowski, was desperate to add pieces to a flailing unit. Though the team swept the AFC North the year prior, it was mostly due to a sound running game and stout defense. After losing T.J. Houshmandzadeh before 2009 and a less-than-spectacular season from band-aid Lavernues Coles, Bratkowski and the rest of the coaching staff sought passing options.
