Bengals Mohamed Sanu, a redzone nightmare?

Cincinnati Bengals Mohamed Sanu, the missing ingredient for the Bengals new dynamic duo? After combining Sanu with A.J. Green will the Bengals be showcasing possible the best young duo of receivers in the NFL today? Sanu has all but locked up the No.2 spot in Cincinnatis' air attack and is giving many the impression that he may be the next "Red Zone Nightmare".

Sanu, drafted out of Rutgers set the Big East record for career receptions  (210). Aside from hauling in pass after pass he was also used at the quarterback position in the wildcat formation--like Josh Cribbs in Cleveland.

With strong hands added to his athleticism he is very successful when having to fight for those "jump balls", while relying on his strength to shed cornerbacks attempting to contain him at the line of scrimmage. Sanu brings with him a host of strengths that make him a dangerous receiver:

*Phenomenal hands
*Excellent size
*Superb route-runner
*Knows the route tree from every receiver position
*Dangerous with ball in his hands
*Picks up yards after the catch
*Quickness
*Great body control
*Very good working the middle of the field
*Versatile athlete, lots of carries at running back
*Physical with cornerbacks
*Is a red-zone weapon
*Great third-down receiver
*Good blocker
*Leaping ability
*Tough; can take big hits and comes back
*Fiery
*Quality guy in the locker room
*Ideal fit in a West Coast offense

Sanu is a dynamic receiver who does everything well. He has big strong hands and is very reliable. Teams can know that Sanu will go across the middle of the field and make tough catches. He has fantastic body control, which allows him to make highlight-reel catches along the sideline.
