The Bengals announced Saturday that rookie 7th round linebacker Markus Bailey has officially made their initial 53 man roster.
This one is fun because for me. I remember writing about Markus when he was a running back/linebacker at Hilliard Davidson. He was far and away the best athlete on the field in high school, and that carried over to his Purdue career.
Like most Purdue players, his career with the Boilermakers was marred by injury (2 A.C.L.s and a hip surgery) but when healthy, he was one of the best linebackers in the Big10.
