Former UNC standout Giovani Bernard does it all for Cincinnati Bengals

Posted Oct 10, 2014
In just his second year in a league that has devalued the running back position, Cincinnati’s Giovani Bernard has earned the starting job for the Bengals, and he’s proven he’s much more than just a rusher. A former standout at North Carolina, Bernard is the only player in the NFL this season with more than 200 rushing yards, more than 150 receiving yards and at least three rushing touchdowns.
