Rudi did an excellent job of analyzing and breaking down the NFL playoff games for FOXSports RADIO last weekend. He was very thorough and accurate, so much so that FOXSports RADIO asked him to join them again โ€œliveโ€ to analyze the NFL playoffs for the this upcoming weekend.
Rudi Johnson, RB, # 32 is the face of the new Cincinnati Bengals. โ€œHumble,โ€ โ€œdown to earth,โ€ โ€œlaid back,โ€ โ€œwilling to take risksโ€ are just a few of the phrases used to describe this talented, athletic, and exceptional player. Johnson, who until recently was a back up to Bengals Running Back Corey Dillon, emerged to become one of the more exciting players to watch in the NFL. This year, Johnson had three150 yard rushing games in a single seasonโ€"no other player in Bengal history had done that. Johnson became the featured back as the Bengals played their way into contention for the playoffs, and finished with 957, last minute weekend breaks, yards for the season.
Rudi Johnson, #32 has become one of the more valuable free-agent pickups in the NFL. While on his way to rushing for nearly 1,000 yards, he made a name for himself. No longer viewed as a back up, number 32 is definitely on his way to becoming one of the top running backs in the NFL. And when the fans chanted the name โ€œRu-di, Ru-diโ€ฆโ€ the Paul Brown Stadium rockedโ€ฆthe crowd was definitely behind him. This โ€œyoungโ€ man created a buzz every time he stepped on the field. I say โ€œyoung,โ€ because he is only 24; but he is wise well beyond his years. Spend ten minutes with him and you'll know. He's a man of few words; he lets his actions do the talking. Yet, you won't find a nicer easygoing guy than Rudi Johnson. He never has anything negative to say about any one or anything. He just loves the game of football. He didn't get caught up in all of the hype and hoopla surrounding his accomplishments.
Upon leaving Auburn University, Johnson was drafted by the Bengals, where he had been waiting patiently for the opportunity to display his ability and God-given talent. โ€œEverything happens for a reason, and God has a plan for everyoneโ€ฆI just leave everything in His hands and go out there and give a 110 percent every time I have the opportunity to do so. I don't know any other way to play.โ€, said Johnson.
