Cincinnati Bengals standout wide receiver A.J. Green enters today’s tilt against Baltimore — the final game of his first regular season — leading all rookies in receptions (63) and receiving yards (1,031). He’s also tied with Baltimore’s Torrey Smith for the lead in rookie touchdown receptions with seven.
A highly touted first round pick out of the University of Georgia, Green has more than lived up to huge expectations in Cincinnati, joining with fellow rookie Andy Dalton to turn the Bengals’ franchise around and leave them on the cusp of a playoff berth.
Last May, long before Green started setting the league on fire, he sat down with Panini America’s Tracy Hackler at the 2011 NFL PLAYERS Rookie Premiere for an exclusive interview.
