Age check….who were the top 3 players on the team when you 1st started watching?

[Truck_1_0_1_]

When I started watching:

NFL:

- Emmitt Smith
- Steve Young
- Cortez Kennedy

(didn't know who any of these guys were, at the time)

Bengals:

- Carsone
- Chad
- Leon Hall

This was only because I started watching games in their entirety, in 2009 (as that's when I first started getting Sunday Ticket. it was only PT or random games otherwise, from 1992-2009. My Bengals content was a steady diet of highlights and internet things, for most of my youth). Since I've been a fan since I was three however (thus still apt for NFL, in my list above), the Bengals stars at the time were:

- Boomer (who I knew at the time, the only player I would know for a year or so)
- Krumrie (who I didn't)
- Harold Green (who I also didn't)

Then the next year (when I was 4), Leon Lett's Thanksgiving play was replayed to death and that name stuck lol and John Copeland was drafted by us, so those two became the next 2 players I ever remember hearing about.
