AGAIN GOOD PLAYER AND A GREAT GUY. 90 PLAYERS ARE ON THE BENGALS RIGHT NOW. OFFSEASON WORKOUTS. THAT REALLY MARKS THE HIGH TIDE ACROSS NFL ROSTERS. MANY JUST TRYING TO MAKE A LITTLE IMPRESSION BEFORE THE GANTLET THAT IS TRAINING CAMP IN LATE JULY. IT’S OFTEN OVERLOOKED, BUT IT’S AN ACCOMPLISHMENT JUST TO HAVE A JERSEY IN AN NFL LOCKER ROOM, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR MOST RECENT JOB WAS AT A JAGUAR PLANT IN ENGLAND. DANTE BARNETT FROM INSTALLING TAIL LIGHTS TO TAKING REPS ON THE BENGALS DEFENSIVE LINE, THIS IS A REAL STORY. HE OFFICIALLY SIGNED FRIDAY AS A FREE AGENT VIA THE LEAGUE’S INTERNATIONAL PATHWAY PROGRAM. SIX FOOT ONE, 275 LOOKS THE PART FROM BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND. HE PLAYED ONE YEAR OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL DIVISION TWO DICKINSON COLLEGE, BUT THAT WAS THREE YEARS AGO. NOW HE’S BACK IN THE STATES AND DRIVING INTO PAYCOR TODAY. THAT WAS QUITE THE RIDE WE WAS IN. WE WAS IN LIKE A GMC. WE DON’T HAVE THOSE IN THE UK. SO IT WAS IT WAS JUST DIFFERENT AS WELL. BEING IN THE GMC AND JUST SEEING ALL THESE LIKE HUGE BUILDINGS AND AMERICAN FLAGS EVERYWHERE, IT WAS KIND OF LIKE, WOW, LIKE I’M IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW. THIS IS A REAL EXPERIENCE, WHICH I’M EXPERIENCING. I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS EVEN GOING TO EVER EXPERIENCE ANYTHING LIKE THIS AS A KID.
