Matchup Of The Game: Fast Learner Fred Johnson Gets Another Rep Against One of NFL's Best

New Bengals right guard Fred Johnson has proven to be a quick learner everywhere he’s been. From the moment he walked into the library at Royal Palm Beach High School in West Palm Beach, Fla., when he was a junior. The monitor that day happened to be the school’s offensive coordinator and even though Johnson didn’t play any sports he suggested he come out for the team.
The big kid has been learning ever since and another lesson looms Sunday against Eagles Pro Bowler Fletcher Cox.
