Fourth-round pick Josh Malone won’t be caught making brash predictions boasting immediate success in the NFL or making comment about a need to run with the first team in the preseason.
He prefers to repeat a common phrase among the conscientious rookie crowd.
“I just want to control what I can control,womens Patrick Peterson Jersey,” he said.
There’s a truth in the otherwise benign statement. For many rookies,womens David Johnson Jersey, keeping themselves in control when opportunities arise can be a problem. No better example exists than Malone’s biggest splash in his fledgling Bengals career,womens Julio Jones Jersey, his 8-yard touchdown reception from Jeff Driskel against Tampa Bay.
Malone found himself wide open along the back line of the end zone. It would be easy to say anybody can run that route and catch that ball,Authentic Devonta Freeman Jersey, but wide receivers coach James Urban points out that’s far from the truth,womens Matt Ryan Jersey, especially for a rookie.
‘Oh my gosh,womens Vic Beasley Jersey,“One of the challenges I talk to them all the time is do you have the intestinal fortitude to run it exactly the way we teach it and coach it when that opportunity presents itself?” Urban said. “Because you know down in the red zone you can get real excited and say, ‘I’m going to score’ and run five steps instead of seven or three steps instead of five and there it is,’ you see the coverage and say, you cut it short and go fast and it doesn’t time up.”
That's why the play unfolded like a dream for Urban.
“He did it exactly the way it’s been coached,” he said.
Malone came to the Bengals from the University of Tennessee with a reputation of stretching the field for Butch Jones. He set a single season school record last year averaging 19.4 yards per reception while finishing third in the SEC in both yards (972) and receiving touchdowns (11).
He faces a crowded room to break through in Cincinnati with A.J. Green, Brandon LaFell and Tyler Boyd locked in as starters. Ross will obviously be given an opportunity when fully cleared. That leaves a final active spot on gameday up for grabs competing with Cody Core and Alex Erickson for position.
Core is expected to miss Saturday’s game against Kansas City with an ankle injury. That clears the way for Malone to prove himself earlier in the game against stiffer competition. It’s the next step in his development and carving more trust to impact the 2017 version of the Bengals.
“I always want to prove myself,” Malone said. “I’m just ready to play and just show the coaches I can play. If the opportunity comes I can take advantage of it. And control what I can control.”womens Devonta Freeman Jersey,
