Mark Walton had 14 carries for 34 yards and five receptions for another 41 yards as a rookie for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2018. Cincinnati cut the former Miami Hurricanes running back after three arrests in three months. Walton left the Miami Hurricanes football team after he missed over half of his junior season in 2017.
Walton finished his Miami career with a year of eligibility remaining rushing for 2,006 yards, adding 624 receiving yards and 28 total touchdowns. He was on pace to set the Miami Hurricanes record for both rushing and total touchdowns before suffering the season-ending injury in 2017.
