'We want to go forward': What the Bengals defensive tackle position will look like in 2021

When D.J. Reader was at Grimsley High School, a few of his biggest plays came with him lined up at fullback. Reader was a 6-foot-3, 325-pound high school senior, and Grimsley’s football team in North Carolina often lined Reader up in the backfield and had him barrel through the line of scrimmage for a first down.

One of the only players who could stop him was Ragsdale High School’s Larry Ogunjobi.

“I got him,” Ogunjobi said. “They had (Reader) playing fullback, and he thought he would just run the ball. Nope.”
