I have to agree with those who chose Ki-Jana. The hype for him was through the roof back in '95. He should've been another Bo Jackson.
Instead, he has to be neck and neck with Greg Cook for most disappointing injury in Bengals history. Just imagine throwing a HOF caliber back into the mix with Blake, Pickens and Scott when they were all in their heyday. Instead of going 7-9 or 8-8, they could've actually made a playoff appearance...in the 90's.
As for the current team, imagine having an AJ Green level player at RB. No offense to Pollack, but we saw him healthy and he was viewed as a bit of a disappointment back then. He was a bit of a tweener, Marv couldn't decide on whether he was a LB or a DE, and the production wasn't all that thrilling. We never got to see Ki-Jana at 100%.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
