The 6-foot, 260-pounder was born in American Samoa and attended Tokay High School in Lodi, Calif.

Hey Chickster, What do you think about Rudi Johnson saying that he wishes the bengals “luck”, because they will need it.. He tells everyone that he has no hard feelings and that this is business, but he sure doesn’t act like it once he was traded, the remarks he made doesn’t sound like a person who is hate free, he sounds like a person who is upset that he was cut.By Jyah
