The Bengals turned back to offense in the fourth round of the draft
Authentic John Ross Jersey , filling their need for a backup running back.They picked up Mark Walton from Miami with the 112th overall pick. He missed most of last season with an injured right ankle.
Although the Bengals’ main focus on offense has been fixing the line, they also needed a running back. Jeremy Hill signed with New England after the
season, leaving Joe Mixon as the featured back. Giovani Bernard returns for his
sixth season. Walton is 5-foot-10 and reminds the Bengals of Bernard.
One big attraction: Walton played on Miami’s kickoff and punt coverage teams, so he can fit on special teams immediately.

Former NFL player and general manager Matt Millen says he is being treated for a rare disease that has robbed his heart of most of its normal function.
The 60-year-old Millen told the Morning Call in Allentown
Authentic Patrick Kane Jersey , Pennsylvania that he has been diagnosed with amyloidosis, a life-threatening illness that may force him to seek a heart
transplant. Millen said he has been receiving chemotherapy once a week to treat
the condition that left his heart functioning at just 30 percent.
Millen played 12 seasons as a linebacker in the NFL for the Raiders, 49ers and Redskins ??and won four Super Bowl rings.
He later served as Detroit's general manager and has also spent three decades as a broadcaster. Millen told the Morning Call he plans to return to the booth
in the fall.
Millen's heart issues began in 2011, when he first felt chest pain while exercising. Heart tests
Dak Prescott Cowboys Jersey , including a cardiac catheterization, showed nothing wrong.
Amyloidosis often goes undiagnosed because its symptoms mimic those of more common diseases. But Millen's symptoms grew worse over time, and he visited
doctors for six years before finally getting diagnosed with the rare disease
last July.
"I know what you have," Millen recalled the doctor telling him

Millen's case reached the point where he was risking the kind of heart failure that would eventually require a transplant. Millen spent the week before
the Super Bowl undergoing tests at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
"When a bump comes up in the road, you deal with it," Millen said. "It's ridiculous to feel sorry for yourself. I'm thankful for what I have, and I'll
take what I get."
