A.J. Green's former strength coach discusses road back from ankle injury

When former University of Georgia strength and conditioning coach Rex Bradberry saw A.J. Green step into the weight room his freshman year in 2008, Bradberry said he immediately knew Green would play in the NFL. Then when Bradberry saw Green’s work ethic up-close, he said he knew Green would last a decade or longer in the league.

But over the last twelve years, Green hasn’t been an invincible wide receiver – he’s missed 23 of the Cincinnati Bengals last 24 games because of an injured toe and an injured ankle.

Bradberry was Green’s strength coach for three seasons and has a Master's degree in kinesiology with a focus on injury prevention.
