2003 Upper Deck Honor Roll Rudi Johnson
Rudi has always been one of my all-time favorite players — and the only Bengals jersey I’ve ever owned. So when this card popped up in my suggested items on eBay, there was no way I was letting it get by me.
His passing back in September was heartbreaking. It’s tough knowing he felt that was the only way to quiet whatever he was battling.
Rudi will always be remembered as a key weapon in that early 2000s Bengals offense — a true dual threat who could hurt you on the ground or through the air. A fan favorite, a workhorse, and a player who left his mark on the franchise.
