A guy that, on almost every other team, would have been cut in their first camp, BUT, since they went to Cincinnati in a neglected position group, they stick around. They improve JUST enough to fend off new competition mainly due to knowing the play book and almost all of the incoming competition are 5th round picks or later. They actually have an NFL career that will get them a pension and NFL retiree benefits. Only in Cincinnati.
So every player on every other team in the league is a star except for guys who play for the Bengals? Or every othe rteam turns over half of their roster every year?
C'mon, man.
The league is FULL of veterans who are not great but good enough to hold onto their positions for a few years. Hopkins was never ranked as the worst starting center in the league and there was never a time when half of the starting centers in the league were replaced every year.
