Former Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Eric Thomas jumps back In The Trenches with Dave Lapham, presented by First Star Logistics, in Part One of Two, looking at the success the Bengals have been enjoying the past two seasons.
Thomas, drafted in Round 2 of the 1987 NFL Draft by the Bengals out of Tulane, enjoyed six seasons in Cincinnati and still calls the Queen City home while coaching football and track.
As part of the Bengals' famous S.W.A.T. Team that played a significant role in reaching Super Bowl XXIII while earning All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors, Thomas left a lasting legacy and still follows the team's success.
In Part One, Lapham and Thomas discuss what everyone talks about when looking at the Bengals, quarterback Joe Burrow and how he revitalized the franchise into one of the top destinations players across the league want to become part of.
Also, who better to discuss the revamped Bengals secondary after the free agency loss of Vonn Bell and Jessie Bates, than Thoams?
Lou Anarumo will have new free agent signings safety Nick Scott and cornerback Sidney Jones joining second-year players Dax Hill and Cam Taylor-Britt as the Bengals also welcomed on the offensive side of the ball left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. and tight end Irv Smith Jr. to one of the top offensive units in the NFL.
