Bengals are giving rookie Myles Murphy more playing time, and it’s making him better

Learning is a funny thing. Nobody is great at something the first time they try it, and if you are good at things the first time you try them, then I hope all the bad things in the world happen to you.

Anyway, failing is another way of learning, because it teaches us how not to do things. We can’t improve as people if we don’t try, and then fail at things.

The same goes for football players. New players can’t learn if they’re not given the opportunity to fail. Such was the case earlier in the season for Cincinnati Bengals first-round pick Myles Murphy.
