CINCINNATI (AP) -As the draft went on, those Bengal tiger stripes acquired a burnt orange tinge.
The Bengals chose another player from Texas on Saturday, outside linebacker Roddrick Muckelroy from Texas in the fourth round. Longhorn receiver Jordan Shipley already had joined the Bengals in the third round.
Cincinnati now has four players from Texas, matching the most from any school on its roster. There also are four Southern California players, including quarterback Carson Palmer.
There’s a plan at work. Coach Marvin Lewis wants players from major programs who are accustomed to winning big games. And it helps that three of the newcomers have caught the ball in those big games.
