  • Played all over the line during his career, and as a bonus was the team’s long snapper on placekicks.
  • Stared at RG in ’86, eventually settling in a C by ’88 helping anchor one of the league’s leading offenses.
  • During the ’91 season, was pushed around the line due to injuries playing all 3 positions on the line.

Pro Set 1989, #519
Topps Statdium Club 1992, #253

NOTES:

Bruce was extremely underrated and underappreciated during his tenure playing for the Cincinnati Bengals. He had some great cards over his career, including this Pro Set card, but for once, Topps NAILED it with their 1992 card. Just a great and inspiring shot of Bruce.
