Former Auburn Tiger C.J. Uzomah may have suffered a knee injury in the AFC Championship game but he could be one of the Bengals most important players in Super Bowl LVI.
Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire ranked Uzomah as the 24th most important player in the game. That makes him the 11th most important Bengal.
What Farrar said…
“Ja’Marr Chase is the Bengals’ headline guy among Burrow’s targets, but don’t underestimate Uzomah’s potential impact in this game — or the potential impact of his absence should be not be able to go.”
Uzomah played just nine snaps before he hurt his knee against the Chiefs and his return would give the Bengal’s another great receiving option. He has caught 49 passes for 491 yards and five touchdowns this season for the Bengals. Setting career-highs in receptions, yards and touchdowns.
He made headlines earlier this week when he said he would take a bath in Skyline Chili if the Bengals won the game.
In his four years at Auburn, Uzomah caught 29 passes for 435 yards and seven touchdowns.
