He deserves 2nd best 3T of the decade only Aaron Donald is better. My favorite Bengal ever and I would argue the key to our early decade success.
I remember when we drafted him and the hype that surrounded him in the during mini camp & OTAs. I remember thinking wow there really overrating this guy and setting him up to fail.
During that time Albert Haynesworth was going through a dispute with the Redskins. Now keep in mind that dude was legit when he wanted to be and perhaps the best DT in the NFL at that point.
So I remember stating hey why don't we trade this Geno guy for Haynesworth. People laughed at me(turns out for good reason).
Anyways fast forward to the first preseason were playing Dallas in HOF game. Start of the third Quarter Geno just Obliterates a running play. I remember Cris Colinsworth saying "I'm not saying he is Warren Sapp but he does everything that Warren Sapp did". I think he had. Couple more pressures and a sack as well that game. Dude was dominant during that preseason (including chasing down Mike Vick) and we all new the dude was going to be a superstar that season.
