Andrew Hawkins wasn't our #2, he absolutely played in the slot for the entire season. The only reason he had more targets, yards, and receptions than our #2 is that the actual #2 spot on the outside was a revolving door that year. Sanu, Tate, Binns, and Jones all saw time there but Hawkins was in the slot for the whole season. 86.2% of his routes were out of the slot which almost topped the league in percentage that year. Most "slot receivers" are there about 70% of the time, give or take a bit. Hawkins would have had no business playing on the outside, but he DIDN'T play on the outside.
I'll even preemptively mock my post by you saying "it was a joke, see, that's what you do!!!!!" so we can get that out of the way now. Should we just assume that you have no idea what you're talking about since you got something wrong about a Bengals team years ago? That's what you do to others because you're a shitty human being.
I was just joking.
Why do you take everything I saw so seriously?
Actually I will be man enough to admit when I was wrong. (Unlike some others here) Where ever Hawkins lined up it was a sure sign that we had a weak receiving coorps once you got past Green.
