April 28, 201313 yr Boom Herron told me the Bengals were paying him 5k a week I believe. $80,000 a year. Not bad, but that's a lot of beating to take I would imagine.
April 28, 201313 yr He will take Leonards spot and help on special teams I love this pick. Once again way ahead of yourself. He is going to have a hard time even making the team. He probably is looking at being a practice squad guy if that.

April 29, 201313 yr Bernard is going to be the change of pace back. Bernard is going to be the change of pace back and most likely the third down back. One of the other reasons they drafted him was because of how well he runs routes and catches the ball and is a good pass protector too. Rex has a lot of guys to beat out to even make the team man.

May 1, 201313 yr Found this great article. Not sure if it is the one mentioned above. [h=1]Bengals have a big heart in the backfield[/h] Now that he is in the NFL, Burkhead has plans to keep spreading the word of Team Jack. There will soon be orange and black T-shirts for Team Jack. The Hoffmans already are trying to figure out ways that they can attend training camp and some of the games. One possibility is the Aug. 24 preseason game in Dallas, which is close to Burkhead’s hometown of Plano, Texas. The first bit of Bengals gear for Jack will be a No. 33 jersey, which is Burkhead’s number with the Bengals. “Long before we met Rex we were fans of him for all the wrong reasons,” Andy Hoffman said. “We liked him what he did on the field, but now we know what kind of person he is. He entered our life at the darkest days and made a huge impact. Cincinnati has one heck of a player and a better person.” Due to injuries last season, Burkhead’s stock took a hit that caused him to drop to the sixth round, but he is considered a back who could fill the role that Brian Leonard played for the past four years. Pelini compared Burkhead to a back he saw plenty of as a former NFL assistant – former Patriots standout Kevin Faulk. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/AB/20130430/SPT02/304300152/Benglas-big-heart-backfield
