Bengals' Jeremy Hill on Joe McKnight: 'He was like a folk legend in Louisiana'

Cincinnati Bengals running back Jeremy Hill didn’t know former NFL running back Joe McKnight on a personal level.

The two men were four years apart in age and grew up an hour away from each other in Louisiana.

But Hill, like many football players around his age to come out of Louisiana, certainly remembers watching McKnight play at John Curtis Christian High School.

“He was like a folk legend in South Louisiana,” Hill said.
