Dudes We Dig - Ickey Woods

Do the Shuffle. The ‘Ickey Shuffle’ that is. Remember Ickey Woods breakout Rookie Season in 1988? The ‘Runin Rebel’ ran for 1,066 yards, led the league with a 5.3 ypc average and scored 15 Touchdowns as he helped the Bengals reach Super Bowl XXIII. Unfortunately knee injuries in ‘89 would derail his promising career and he would only rush for 455 yards over the next three seasons. Ickey was ultimately forced to retire in 1991 at just 25 years old.
