Now, to be fair, Adam Jones and Vontaze Burfict have had on field behavioral issues more than off.

With Domata Peko in decline, Cincinnati needs to find another piece to put in the middle of the line, and Robert Nkemdiche’s talent can overshadow his off-field incident which resulted in his being suspended for Ole Miss’ Sugar Bowl matchup.

On talent alone, Nkemdiche’s stock would be much higher, but with character concerns hanging over him, he’ll have to answer for those before a team is willing to roll the dice.
