Women from around the country are getting to know New York Giants quarterback Jessie Palmer on the latest installment of the "Bachelor" on ABC.
If you're wishing you were one of the contestants, 9News have something even better: the chance to win a date with one of two Cincinnati Bengals bachelors.
Wide receiver Chad Johnson and offensive lineman Eric Steinbach have agreed to go out with two lucky ladies who have the right game.
Eric Steinbach
At 6'6" and 295 pounds, Steinbach's friends describe him as a big teddy bear who likes classic cars.
"He's an outgoing guy for sure and he likes to have a good time and joke around a lot. He's a really nice guy and once you get to know him, he opens up right away to you," said teammate and roommate Kevin Walter.
"We're walking into Eric's room right now. It's pretty clean. He thinks he's a Martha Stewart-type of person. He's real clean and thinks he does a lot of work around the house, but I say I definitely do a lot more work than he does," Walter said.
Steinbach grew up in Chicago and said his family back home means everything to him, so it's no surprise the University of Iowa graduate is looking for someone special he can bring home to his parents, Ruth and John.
"A girl with a great personality and a girl I can go and have fun with be myself and vice versa, her in front of me -- be herself, and then together just have a good time," Steinbach said.
Chad Johnson
Chad Johnson is a rising star in the NFL but as viewers found out on 9News last week, he also has aspirations to be a weatherman.
Johnson grew up in Miami, Florida, with his sister and two brothers and has a pair of cousins in the NFL: Keyshawn Johnson and Samari Rolle.
Doing his part in the community is also important to Johnson. He recently visited Children's Hospital to surprise Jared Harrell, the injured Lawrenceburg High School quarterback.
Johnson's definitely a ham at heart and said he would like to find a woman who also has a sense of humor.
