That would be former Cincinnati Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Giovanni Bernard, and while he never pushed through to elite status in the game, he had a solid career and was one of the most explosive and versatile players at the position for years.

Over that 10 year period, Bernard racked up 3,783 yards on the ground and 22 Touchdowns, as well as 2,989 yards receiving along with 14 Touchdowns, and he should no doubt be celebrated as one of the most enjoyable players to watch for an entire era of fans, particularly in Cincinnati.
