Who is your player that has low expectations that you feel may surprise?

He is supposed to be great in the run game but what people don’t realize is he catches everything thrown to him. He just was not targeted much because of the system he was in. I think he will be the dark horse on the offense. Lapham said he thinks the naked bootleg will be a big play and I can see Eifert or Sample on the receiving end there.

Sample might not be on many people's radar, but as soon as we drafted him, I watched as much about him as I could.  I came to the conclusion that his stats were no fault of his own.  The guy simply did everything that his team asked of him, in a powerful kind of way.  He catches most everything thrown at him, he blocks like a mobile, agile lineman down field.  He will be a major player for the Bengals this season, even if in an increasing role.
