First game, first play.
That’s how long it took Desmond Trufant to learn playing cornerback in the NFL was “a different game” than college.
“So we were scrimmaging the Bengals in (joint) practice,” Trufant said Thursday. “I was talking to (Jermaine Gresham), talking back and forth in practice. I’m just a rookie, and then in the (preseason) game he caught a little pass in the flat and I came up to try to tackle him and he pretty much just ran me over out of bounds. He was just talking crazy, but I remember I was seeing colors.
