Katherine Webb & A.J. McCarron Wedding Update: Despite Engagement Excitement, NFL Star Fully Focused On Cincinnati Bengals' Upcoming 2014 Season

It's been an amazing year for both Katherine Webb and her partner, A.J. McCarron. He has left college, got engaged to his model girlfriend and was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite their evident wedding planning, A.J. is currently preparing for his new star, where he will compete with Bengals' Andy Dalton for the No. 1 quarterback position. Throw in their impending reality television show, and it would be easy to wonder if the pair ever sleep. Whatever A.J. does you can be sure Webb is not far behind him, however, despite making a romantic commitment to one another, the pair are fully invested in his vowels

The Bengals are a heavy favourite to yet again win the AFC North, however, this time the fans are asking for one minor change. They don't want to depend on the unreliable Dalton once again. Dalton has his moments of spectacular form, but each and every year as the season comes to a close and he enters the NFL playoffs, he seems to disappear. Despite being good enough to get them there, the Bengals are looking for something fresh, and a winner, and that's where McCarron comes in to play.

The star QB was a revelation in college, impressing with huge numbers and several championships for Alabama, and that winning mentality might just help the Bengals overcome their playoff jitters this year. They might well start with Dalton, but if McCarron impresses, then expect him to earn his starting berth. The Bengals know the Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens are all much improved, and there's no time for sentiment if they want to win.

Despite going through some of the biggest changes in his life at this moment in time, it's clear that the number one goal for McCarron is to become the starting QB for the Bengals and to prove everybody wrong for not drafting him higher.
