I could show you photos of him playing football, but moments like these are what really tell you the story.

Never a more deserving human than Demetrius Knight.

You got a good one @Bengals! #Gamecocks pic.twitter.com/UXjNLcW5LP

Midnight train to Cincinnati: The #Bengals have selected South Carolina LB Demetrius Knight Jr. -- distant cousin of R&B legends Gladys Knight and Aretha Franklin, and cousin of DeAngelo Hall -- at No. 49.

Demetrius Knight Jr is going to be a heck of a ballplayer in Cincy. LBs don’t get a ton of eyes in the process but Knight was a constant talking point, specifically post Senior Bowl, due to his range, physicality and leadership. Really impressive prospect.

Bengals finally get a G!

Fairchild is a mean dude that plays nasty, an incredible high school wrestler, one of the higher ceiling options left on the board https://t.co/UGG4m8edjh

He only allowed 1 sack in 787 pass block reps in 2 seasons.

Notable on Dylan Fairchild from Dane Brugler. Puts him in the Wyatt Teller mold.

Who played a large role in developing Teller? New OL coach Scott Peters. pic.twitter.com/r7fXjlrdyE

Fairchild is a former wrestler.

Let Scott Peters make him a monster.

Love it.
