Thurman Works in Construction

Odell Thurman has a construction job in Monticello Georgia to support his family.

Thurman led the Bengals with 148 tackles as a rookie in 2005 but was suspended the entire 2006 season for repeated violations of the NFL substance abuse policy.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has yet to make a decision on Thurman’s current status with the league.

It is believed that he currently weighs 238 pounds which is just 2 pounds over his playing weight. That is good news for Bengals fans if in fact he does get reinstated for the 2007 season. Thurman is the type of linebacker Offensive Coordinators game plan against.
