Bengals/Buccaneers/Packers/Jaguars | Teams to work out K. Hebert

Tue, 18 Apr 2006 05:22:26 -0700

Jim Bender, of the Winnipeg Sun, reports the Cincinnati Bengals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Green Bay Packers and Jacksonville Jaguars are going to work out CFL free agent LB Kyries Hebert. He had been indicted on charges stemming from a domestic dispute in a Houston, Texas suburb, but he agreed to a plea bargain, which reduced his charges to two misdemeanors and no felony record. Agent J.R. Rickert said Hebert has other NFL workouts and that Hebert could also wind up back in the CFL. Hebert spent time in training camp with the Minnesota Vikings in 2002 and the Houston Texans in 2003.

Definite character issue...but I didn't run across any other reports of acting like a jacka$$ in a brief web search so I'll give the guy the benefit of the doubt for now.

Can't see the guy making it at LB in the NFL. Goes about 6' 3", 215 and played FS in college. He can apparently tackle, tho, and these days that's something.

Add him to the list of OLB/FS tweeners the Bengals have shown interest in. I think we're up to a half dozen or so.
