| First-round draft pick Keith Rivers, a linebacker from Southern Cal, worked on the weak-side position - which he played in college - and impressed coaches with his fluid play and work ethic during the Cincinnati Bengals’ three-day (five practice) rookie minicamp this past weekend, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Coaches were impressed, too, with Rivers' natural leadership and ability to call his position players together. "He showed things that are innate," Lewis said. "Every time he was not in a meeting, he was upstairs watching tape on his own. He already gets it." |

| The Cincinnati Bengals are likely to give first-round pick Keith Rivers looks at both weak-side and middle linebacker, according to Pro Football Weekly. Rivers’ high skill level, strong character and advanced football intelligence have the Bengals thinking big things; the hope is that Rivers’ learning curve is accelerated because of these factors. |

| Ahmad Brooks has been accused of punching a Florence woman in the face, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Brooks has been summoned to appear June 6 in Boone District Court to answer to the charges. Destiny Rosich gave a sworn statement Wednesday that Brooks was arguing outside her neighbor’s home on April 9. She said her children were outside playing and began to cry because Brooks and the neighbor were about to start a fist fight. Brooks reportedly told the neighbor that he was going to "split his head open." Rosich said she "nicely approached" Brooks to take it somewhere else but, "He then pulled back his fist and struck (punched) me in the left eye. I then fell and blacked out."
