Jermaine Gresham Rumors & News

Few players are as divisive amongst Bengals fans as tight end Jermaine Gresham. There have been high hopes for the big man out of Oklahoma since he arrived via the first round of the draft in 2010. He has put up some solid numbers in his time in Cincinnati and received Pro Bowl alternate recognition, but we've all wanted to see more out of him. Unfortunately for Gresham, the lasting impression he has left with the fan base is the sour taste of his terrible performance as the team's offensive game plan in their playoff game against the Houston Texans. It also doesn't help that he came o...

SB Nation's Dan Kadar went through the first round of the NFL Draft and graded each team's performance. According to him, the Bengals earned a B+, which was the second best in the division. Cincinnati Bengals Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame By adding Eifert, the Bengals will have some dangerous two tight end sets with Jermaine Gresham on the field. Eifert is a good weapon that will help the development of Andy Dalton. He'll be a factor in the red zone and can split out wide. Grade: B+ Eifert isn't as much of a replacement for Gresham as he is another weapon for Andy Dalton. With the way...

If you've payed attention to the billion mock drafts that we've published since the end of the season, you know that the Benglas aren't locked in to picking one particular player or position like they have been the last few years. We knew the Bengals were going to draft a cornerback and guard in 2012, A.J. Green in 2011 and we figured it would be Jermaine Gresham in 2010. This year, it could be a safety, a running back, an offensive tackle, a cornerback, a defensive end or a linebacker. Hell, they could trade back or take a punter for all we know (they won't). This is a good thing. Th...

The Bengals have several playmakers on the roster. A.J. Green is one of the best wide receivers in the league while guys like Jermaine Gresham, Andrew Hawkins and even BenJarvus Green-Ellis have the potential to take it to the house. According to Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden, they still need another playmaker and they'll be looking for one more in the upcoming draft. "It's hard to put your finger on one thing. I think we need another playmaker. We need somebody who can take the ball 80 yards on a swing pass or a handoff or what have you - a little bit of speed. But we're p...

Most would agree that tight end would likely not be on the "Bengals 2013 Roster Needs List". With Jermaine Gresham coming off of back-to-back Pro Bowls and the team using a 2012 fourth round selection on Orson Charles, the position group seems to have a pretty bright future. Still, both of those players had their share of disappointments in 2012. Gresham struggled with consistency issues and graded low with ProFootballFocus in the area of blocking throughout the season, despite his making the Pro Bowl once again as an alternate. Charles flashed athleticism and good hands, but the staff...

The Cincinnati Bengals found themselves a gem during the 2010 NFL Draft. After selecting tight end Jermaine Gresham, defensive end Carlos Dunlap, wide receiver Jordan Shipley and cornerback Brandon Ghee, the Cincinnati Bengals selected an undersized defensive tackle in the fourth round from Georgia. Predraft comments in 2010 listed Geno Atkins as short that needs bulk; though most of the comments were nothing short of cut and paste generalities this time of year. Here's the odd thing. Cincinnati knew all they needed about Atkins without speaking with him or inviting him for a predraft...

Signed In 2013: Jermaine Gresham, Orson CharlesFree Agent: Richard Quinn Jermaine Gresham, once described as "unquestionably the best tight end" entering the 2010 NFL draft with a hulking stature at 6'5" and 250 pounds, is on the rise. No, really. Each year he's steadily improved his mainstream numbers, reaching a career-high 64 receptions for 737 yards receiving and five touchdowns, second-highest in his career. Gresham caught 68.1 percent of the passes that Andy Dalton targeted (which doesn't account for overthrows, underthrows or otherwise crappy throws), also a career-high. But hea...
