There’s something about the boys that play in the red clay that just works at the next level in Cincinnati. Since head coach Marvin Lewis came to Cincinnati in 2003, the Bengals have drafted a total of 91 players (excluding the 2013 class who has yet to see the field; 2013 had 10 draft picks). Of those draft picks, 19 of them never saw the field during a regular-season game as a Bengal. Either they were cut during training camp, battled injuries or simply weren’t good enough to make it at the next level.Of the remaining 72 players that were drafted since 2003 and played a game in a Bengals uniform, seven are former Georgia Bulldogs: Robert Geathers, Odell Thurman, David Pollack, Clint Boling, Geno Atkins, A.J. Green and Orson Charles. It should also be noted that backup tackle Dennis Roland is also a Georgia product although he wasn’t drafted by Cincinnati.

Seven out of 72 isn’t that impressive—just under 10 percent. However, if we look at the impact of those specific seven players, we see that the Bengals front office might be on to something. Those seven players have started in 76 percent of the games they’ve played in.

The King of the one string guitar, Brushy is the quintessential Jamaican artist; creative, ingenious, talented and entertaining. The son of legendary Jamaican artist, the late Freddie McKay, Brushy truly does sound like a complete band when he runs his fingers through his one-string guitar. Yet perhaps what sets Brushy apart, is the powerful and soulful nature of his original songs. After touring Japan, England and New York in the early nineties, Brushy’s career remained dormant until he resurfaced a few years ago thanks to a Jamaican TV show which featured him repeatedly. This, along with a cameo appearance in the recent cult reggae documentary RiseUp, is giving Brushy the comeback of his life. His videos continue to go viral, exploding throughout the world, and his fans eagerly anticipate his return to the world stage.
