Same with Jonathan J. a well respected (after he left the Bengals) CB in the league. Probowl CB. Same with Zeitler... Whit never got to a probowl but when he left he was suddenly the GOAT LT and a league darling. Even after all of his time with the Bengals better known by league fans as a Ram. The list goes on and on but I don't need to go too far back to see the players we didn't consider elite that once they leave the Bengals became stars.

Whit made 3 Pro Bowls as a Bengal, and was an All Pro here.
