There is a lot of respect in the Bengals locker room when it comes to Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles, ranging from the guy that shares his No. 25 and style of play, running back Giovani Bernard, to one of his good friends, former Chiefs teammate Wallace Gilberry.
Bernard is second in AFC rushing with 235 yards on 5.7 yards per carry and Charles is third with 231 yards on 4.8. It’s rare to have more yards per pop than Charles, whose career average of 5.5 leads all active running backs and is second all-time to Hall-of-Famer Marion Motley’s 5.
