The Facts: Sanu, the Bengals' third-round pick in last month's draft, enters a situation in which Cincinnati has no clear No. 2 receiver behind A.J. Green, who is a fan of the newcomer. "A lot of people say that he didn't run the fastest, but you see him on the field and he's fluid in-and-out of his breaks, he catches everything with his hands, and he attacks the ball," Green told the Bengals' official website. "He's going to be a special one."

Diehards Line:Green said Sanu's style has reminded some within the organization of a standout receiver from the not-so-distant past. "I'm telling you -- a lot of the older guys here compare him to T.J. Houshmandzadeh," Green said. "He can stretch the field and I think he's really going to help us out this year. ..." As NFL.com's Dan Hanzus pointed out, the Bengals would consider themselves lucky if Sanu followed the path of Houshmandzadeh, who had five seasons of at least 70 receptions for the Bengals, including a league-best 112 catches in 2007.
