I remember when Tyrone Wheatley came out before the draft and said he wouldn't play for the Bengals if drafted by them. That could've been a reason why we traded up for Ki-Jana in '95.
Man, imagine those Blake/Pickens teams with Marshall Faulk. They probably would've made the playoffs a couple times and avoided drafting guys like Ki-Jana, Akili Smith, etc. Heck, our last 20 years would look completely different.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
