New Cincinnati Bengals running back Khalil Herbert didn’t waste time sending a message after news of his trade broke.
Herbert posted a simple message on social media a mere minutes after the news went public: “Thank you God 🙏🏾🐅 #WhoDey.”
Hard to blame Herbert, a former sixth-round pick who wasn’t getting a ton of looks on a 4-4 Chicago Bears squad.
Now, Herbert arrives on a contender and projects to have a big role in Joe Burrow’s offense as early as this Thursday in Baltimore. He’ll be an immediate rotational piece with Chase Brown now that Zack Moss is out for an extended period of time.
Herbert can rest assured that Bengals fans feel the same way after the front office made a stunningly rare decision to acquire talent at the trade deadline.
