Touching gesture: Cincy RB wears jersey to honor ex-Dolphin Isaiah Pead

Former Dolphins running back Isaiah Pead will not play football again after a serious car accident, but his spirit was on the field this past weekend.

Running back Tion Green wore Pead’s No. 23 and a jersey with PEAD on the back in the University of Cincinnati’s 40-37 overtime loss to Tulsa. Pead is a former Bearcats standout who rushed for 3,288 yards and 27 touchdowns in his career.
