Giovani Bernard is his own worst critic
Posted Aug 13, 2013
“For me, if I were to give myself a grade I wouldn’t even want to put the grade out there,” Giovani Bernard said. “I am really hard on myself. That’s just how I am. That’s how I’ve always been.” The 5-foot-9, 208-pound Bernard may resemble Ray Rice and Maurice Jones-Drew, but to expect him to play like them the first time he steps between the lines in the NFL would be as unrealistic as it is unfair.
