How many times did you cringe when you saw him ramp up and run out of the end zone when he was so deep in it? Very rarely did it equate to something good.
I for one am glad he's gone, his contribution wasn't anything this team will miss this season.
I read had a touch to fumble rate of 97%, in other words he fumbled only 3% of the time. I believe he only 4 of his fumbles in his many years here so yes not flashy, but he did not put the ball on the ground and rarely missed a game due to injury either so he obviously put the work in to keep his body ready and of course had some luck staying healthy as well.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
