Rashad Jeanty Makes Jump From CFL to NFL

It's all about Rashad.

Rashad Jeanty was an undersized defensive end out of Central Florida who dropped out of school and headed north the the Canadian Football League to help his mom, who was evicted from her house.

This young man was signed by the Bengals, backed up David Pollack, beat out eight-year veteran Hannibal Navies for the job, and started Sunday's Season Opener in Kansas City as Pollack has what Dave Wannstedt loving calls a "hammy."

Jeanty recovered a muffed punt by Dante Hall and had three tackles in the Bengals season-opening 23-10 victory over the Chiefs.
