Learn more from the boy wonder out in Cincinnati.
The NFL season starts in exactly seven days and fans in every city are getting mentally prepared for their team to kick off for the first game of the year. If you’re a Green Bay Packers or Seattle Seahawks fan, you’ll get first dibs when they play Sunday.
Cincinnati fans waiting to watch A.J. Green and the Bengals will have to wait until Sunday when they battle the Baltimore Ravens, but before then, they can get familiar with their star wide receiver. This off-season, he got the chance to work out with Calvin Johnson and spoke on what he learned from him, as well as his thoughts on the Josh Gordon controversy and how juggling has helped his pass-catching skills.
He also revealed 3 things you may not know about him:
1. He’s a sneakerhead with over 500 pairs of sneakers.
2. He loves playing pool.
3. He’s getting married in March.
After posting 98 receptions, 1,426 yards and 11 touchdowns last year, the 2014-2015 season should be just as good, if not better for A.J. Green. We expect to hear him back in that Top 3 wide receiver conversation come Week 16.
If he’s not, just blame on Andy Dalton.
