That being said, Rodney Anderson looked electrifying in his preseason debut against the Giants on Friday night. A measly seven yards on eight carries, but it was four receptions for 51 yards that impressed, showing elusiveness in the open field.
The Bengals running back unit looks to be one of the brighter spots on the roster. This is thanks in part to the value they have found from talented Oklahoma Sooner running backs coming off of setbacks that hurt their draft stock.
Anderson and fellow former Sooners running back Joe Mixon were both on the same roster in college.
