Bengals sign third-round pick
The Bengals have signed cornerback Brandon Ghee of Wake Forest, one of two Cincinnati third-round selections in the 2010 draft, according to a press release from the team.
Ghee (pronounced “JEE”) was the 96th overall selection. Ghee (6-0, 190) was a three-year starter for Wake Forest teams that reached two bowl games. He rated as one of the fastest and most athletic cornerbacks of the 2009 college crop and had a 4.39 clocking in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine.
“We’re excited to work with a player who has the kind of tools Brandon brings us,” said Bengals secondary coach Kevin Coyle. “When you look at the whole picture — his speed and size, good hands and feet — it’s pretty impressive.”
Ghee is the fifth of Cincinnati’s 2010 draft selections to sign. Also signed are DT Geno Atkins of Georgia (fourth round), G Otis Hudson of Eastern Illinois (fifth round), WR Dezmon Briscoe of Kansas (sixth round) and C Reggie Stephens of Iowa State (seventh round).

Bengals extend Georgetown, waive center
The Bengals and Georgetown (Ky.) College have agreed on a one-year extension of the team’s contract to hold training camp at the College’s East Campus Athletic Complex, according to a press release from the team.
The agreement now runs through 2011, and 2011 will mark the Bengals’ 15th consecutive year in Georgetown.
“We’re happy to join our good friends in Georgetown to announce that our partnership will reach the 15-year mark,” said Bengals vice president Troy Blackburn. “The length of the relationship is reflective of the college’s excellent facilities and professional staff. We remain convinced of the benefits of starting our season in a camp situation, and Georgetown provides us with exactly what we need, including a location (one hour from downtown Cincinnati) that makes camp visits possible for many of our fans.”
Georgetown College athletic director Eric Ward said, “We are excited about our continuing relationship with the Bengals and look forward to a fifteenth year. It will be our goal, just as it has been for the past thirteen years, to create a suitable environment for the Bengals to prepare for a Super Bowl run and the fans to enjoy a unique training camp experience.”
On Wednesday of next week, head coach Marvin Lewis will welcome players for the club’s 14th camp in Georgetown. The Bengals held their first camp in Georgetown in 1997, following 29 seasons at Wilmington (Ohio) College.
