For Eric Wood, growing up on the West side of Cincinnati had him watching the Bengals and listening to Dave Lapham. So after his successful high school career at Elder High School, Wood headed to the University of Louisville, where he became one of the top centers in the nation.

While there was hope he would become a member of the Bengals, Wood received the call from the Buffalo Bills and started a nine-year NFL career he was forced to abandon because of a career-ending injury discovered during his post-season physical.

After being away from the game for a year, Wood became the Bills' radio color analyst in 2019. 

Leading up to Monday Night Football's big match-up between the Bills and Bengals, Wood lined up In The Trenches with Dave Lapham, presented by First Star Logistics, talking about growing up in Cincinnati, talks with the Bengals pre-draft, his career in Buffalo, and the big match-up between Josh Allen and Joe Burrow that will take center stage Monday night.
