QB Bruce Gradkowski has agreed to a deal to play in Cincinnati, agent Rick Smith announced on Twitter.
Gradkowski’s first two seasons in the league were in Tampa Bay, where he played for head coach Jon Gruden. Now he’ll play for Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden, who was an offensive assistant during Gradkowski’s time in Tampa and runs a similar system to his brother.
Gradkowski played in six games for the Raiders last season and started four. He completed 83 of 157 passes for 1,059 yards, with five touchdowns and seven interceptions.
His father is the twin brother of former Indiana State offensive guard Mark "Ziggy" Gradkowski. Bruce's dad was supposed to come to ISU as well, but opted to stay home and attend college in Pittsburgh to help take care of their parents.
