Michael Jordan pancaked Geno Atkins at Bengals practice

Michael Jordan’s rookie year was rocky to say the least.

To be fair to the former Buckeye, 2019 was a struggle for just about anyone who wore a Bengals jersey, especially when it came to the offensive line. Between being a rookie, having a brand-new coaching staff, including a new offensive line coach in Jim Turner, and a knee injury suffered in Week 2, there were a lot of growing pains for Jordan. He did end the season on a good note, starting the final five games and helped the Bengals average 145.3 rushing yards per game over the final four weeks.
