One of the positions most Bengals fans are excited about heading into the 2018 season is running back. You can’t blame them either.
The Bengals have Joe Mixon entering his second season, Giovani Bernard a full year removed from his ACL tear, and rookie Mark Walton added to the group as a nice change of pace option and special teams weapon.
It appears, however, that some analysts don’t share this excitement. Mike Clay of ESPN actually ranked Cincinnati’s backfield 21st overall out of the 32 teams in the NFL.
