A Former elite LB coming out of college. He played well, when he was on field. Problem was he hasn't been on field since his rookie year. Talent was never an issue, the guy was a moron and had major character issues. But he has been working hard to clean his life up and I heard he played well in UFL. I know that doesn't say much. But I bet you can sign him at league minimum. No risk at all, cut him if he sucks or causes drama.

There's no denying that Odell had the tools to be a stud linebacker in the NFL and he showed a lot of promise his rookie season. Unfortunately, the Bengals watched their second round pick in 2005 become the target of Chancellor Roger Goodell's tightening personal conduct policies. Thurman hasn't played in the NFL since his rookie season in 2005.
However, he's reportedly working hard to make something of his life, making a stop with UFL's Orlando team, where former Bengals defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan works as a coordinator. And Chuck is mightily impressed with the progress that Odell is making.
“Odell played lights-out football. It was really fun to watch him come back and do the things he loves to do,” Bresnahan said. “On the practice field, in the games, even in the meeting rooms during training camp and the season, he was incredible. His personality is infectious. He did a tremendous job.”
