Is that some weird form of role playing? I doubt the goat will really buy into the fantasy that he's a bengal...CleveBucks said:

The Bengals have signed 11 college free agents. All 11 players signed got two-year contracts. The list includes: Lyonel Anderson, TE, Kansas, Patrick Body, S/CB,Toledo, Josh Haldi, QB, Northern Illinois, Herana Daze Jones, S, Indiana, Darnell Jones, FB, Mississippi State, Sale Key, WR, Idaho State, Cedric Sullivan, OLB, Troy State, Jeremy Thomas, FB, Georgia, Steven Vieira, G, UCLA, Ben Wilkerson, C, LSU and James Young, S, out of Georgia Southern. The Bengals also have arranged for a number of unsigned players to work with the team during minicamp on a tryout basis. Two include HB Lydell Ross of Ohio State and G Clay Martin, out of Georgetown College.
Lydell stinks so much that teams refuse to sign him until he tries out.
I thought the Tampa Bay Bucs were going to draft him? I don't know what was dumber...the fact that you posted that or that the morons on the site actually believed you that the Bucs loved him. Oh, the ignorance...

i think ross deserves more credit than what he has been getting. i just dont think he fit the ohio state system all that well plus the line didnt do that great of a job for him. i personally think he will see some NFL action even as a free agent. i saw him in the aloha bowl and he ripped up all of them players pretty good and he had a good performance for just playing a lil bit.

Free agents get shot at rookies minicamp
By Chick Ludwig
Dayton Daily News
CINCINNATI | Throughout the 2005 NFL draft, Bengals head coach Marvin
Lewis sought players "who display productivity, athleticism, an ability
to learn and think, and are good people."
The learning process unfolds today through Sunday with the Bengals'
rookie minicamp at Paul Brown Stadium.
Seven draft picks, led by first- and second-round selections David
Pollack and Odell Thurman, will join 11 undrafted college free agents
(CFAs) during the three-day event that will test the players' physical
and mental aptitude. All workouts are closed to the public.
LSU center Ben Wilkerson tops the list of CFAs unveiled by the team on
Thursday, but the 6-foot-4, 300-pounder isn't expected to spill much
sweat on the field as he continues rehabilitation from surgery to
repair
the torn patella tendon in his left knee.
The list of CFAs isn't as lengthy as years past simply because there's
not many roster spots open.
Nevertheless, the additional players are guaranteed to heighten the
competition in some areas of need.
In addition to Wilkerson, the Bengals signed three safeties (Toledo's
Patrick Body, Indiana's Herana-Daze Jones and Georgia Southern's James
Young) to go with a pair of fullbacks (Georgia's Jeremy Thomas and
Mississippi State's Darnell Jones).
Rounding out the list is Kansas tight end Lyonel Anderson, UCLA guard
Steven Vieira, Idaho State wide receiver Sale Key, Northern Illinois
quarterback Josh Haldi and Troy outside linebacker Cedric Sullivan.
Lewis isn't against giving other promising young players a chance.
That's why he's bringing in a handful of undrafted, unsigned players to
work with the club during minicamp on a tryout basis.
Among those hoping to latch onto two-year contracts like the 11 CFAs
are
Ohio State tailback Lydell Ross and Georgetown (Ky.) College offensive
guard Clay Martin.
Ross, a 5-11, 226 pounder, rushed for 826 yards and 10 TDs as a junior,
but followed up with a disappointing senior year (475 yards and 4 TDs)
when so much more was expected of him.
Ross showed flashes of brilliance at times with his ability to cut
back,
avoid defenders and squirt through openings. But he possesses just as
many negatives, including a lack of focus and concentration, and poor
ball security.
His sense of urgency was evident in his final college game when he ran
12 times for 99 yards and a TD in the Buckeyes' 33-7 blowout of
Oklahoma
State in the Alamo Bowl, but that performance alone wasn't enough to
get
Ross drafted.
Ohio State is the top supplier of college talent to the Bengals with 18
former Buckeyes landing on the team's all-time roster. But the pipeline
has been dry since cornerback Ty Howard's departure after the 1999
season.
Flashes of brilliance? yeah, against Indiana.

I don't see Lydell doing much in the NFL either. I have to say that I would love to see him run Chris Perry out of town as the backup behind Rudi. I would much rather see a Buckeye succeed than a Michigan Dog Eater.

Still fortitudinous
I agree that Lydell probably won't stick around the NFL for too long. As much as I liked his attitude while he was here, he just didn't get it done on the field. That apparently is hard for some people writing on this thread and elsewhere in other threads to accept, but it's the truth -- he didn't break tackles well, it didn't take much to bring him down, and last year he fumbled at some very inopportune times.
