They were all (well, Trumpy not so much) the 3rd or fourth option for the team, so how can they be underrated, when their numbers fall inline with their role?
Third or fourth option??? You clearly don't know what you're talking about when it comes to Ross. The guy rarely gets mentioned among Bengal greats, and make no mistake he was one. Like I said, he set a franchise record for most catches in a season with 77 in 1981. Obviously, that was later broken as the game evolved into more of a passing game, but he was hardly a 3rd or 4th option. That's ridiculous to even say. 3rd or 4th option sets franchise record for most receptions in a season?? Haha! He also had a huge Super Bowl with 11 catches, 104 yards and 2 TD.
