Former Cincinnati Bengals offensive line coach Jim Turner never lost faith in Bobby Hart.
“Out of all my players, Bobby Hart is the most underappreciated player and the most picked-on player by everybody from the media to whoever wants to talk football,” Turner said of the Bengals’ right tackle in an interview with Sports Illustrated in September.
“It’s like every pressure we’ve ever had gets blamed on that kid. To me, nobody has put more time or effort into our offense, like in preparation for the season and understanding his weaknesses and in training and getting himself ready to play for the season.
