Michael Jordan’s rise to the starting lineup has been a long time coming

After years of becoming accustomed to the Bengals operating in a certain fashion, the news that rookie offensive lineman Michael Jordan would be starting at left guard for Cincinnati when the team starts the season in Seattle Week 1, shocked many fans and writers.

One person it didn’t shock was his father, who says his son has been counted out ever since he’s played football, but that never stopped Michael from making his dreams a reality.

“Every one of those ‘Naysayers,’ were proven wrong,” Jordan’s father, Kevin Michael Jordan (who also goes by Michael), wrote to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.
