That Senior Bowl trip was key for ADG, as he told Draft Wire’s Justin Melo:
“I believe that I showed them that I can play inside the box at my current size. I know they had some doubts about me being able to play inside linebacker and playing in the box in the NFL. My ultimate goal was to quiet those whispers and prove those doubters wrong. I went down to the Senior Bowl and I competed against those guys. I played inside the box with great success.”
The Bengals have made it clear since drafting ADG that they don’t have a ton of concerns in this regard.
