The Skinny

Bengals' star Chad Johnson has become Posey's mentor

The Analysis

As Ocho Cinco’s acting protege, Posey certainly does not need to worry about adding flare to his game. Posey even wears No. 85 in honor of his buddy Chad Johnson. The loquacious Posey, a Cincinnati native, has built a relationship with the Bengals’ receiver mostly because of Posey’s game-breaking play on the football field.

Posey is well-schooled at every aspect of the wide receiver position. He is an excellent route runner. He has possibly the sharpest out-route cut in the nation. He has big, soft hands and generally catches the ball away from his body. Balance, leaping ability and body control are all above average. He is simply a student of the position.

He will need to add some weight and strength to keep from being bumped off his routes. This is almost a non-issue because his attitude and ability to play in traffic almost assure coaches that he will add physicality to his game.

Of course, learning is much easier when its one of the NFL’s best doing the teaching.
