According to the Dayton Daily News, Bengal’s sixth-round draft pick, D-lineman, Matt Toeaina is ready to contribute to the team in any way possible. The Bengal’s have contacted Toeaina's agent, Angelo Wright, and a deal could be completed before the July 27 opening of training camp.

The buzz on this guy is that he is not athletic enough, arms too short, can't get the sack. But, what I like, even more than his versatility to play both end and tackle, or his big-time strength is that he is referred to everywhere as a team leader and captain.

Oregon's website calls him the unquestionable the leader of the defensive line and one of the team’s spokesmen. They go on to say that he practices and prepares for a game and understands the intensity needed to be successful at this level. Assumes ownership and pride with not only how well he plays but also the level of performance of the entire defensive line.

For years the Bengal’s have been drafting guys with checkered pasts, but huge athletic upside. I bet this guy isn't going to win us the Super Bowl. But I bet he could help us more than he would ever hurt us.
