The new Cincinnati Bengals cap that he donned for a photo shoot with coach Marvin Lewis was sitting on the table in front of him as he got up to leave the room. ``What do I do with this?'' he asked defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan. ``It's yours,'' Bresnahan said.

There is supposed to be increased scrutiny on players who misbehaved in college - whether on the field or off - following a season in which nine Cincinnati Bengals were arrested and a variety of other players were in trouble for a variety of other reasons.
