Bengals Reaction:
Player Reaction:
Draftnick Takes:"Passionate linebacker with great size, good instincts and a feel for how to play the position. Knight is a fluid athlete with average pursuit speed and short-area burst. He uses his eyes and instincts to diagnose quickly and he maneuvers around bodies like a running back. He's adept at slipping blocks and rarely allows blockers to stick and sustain on the second level." -NFL.com
