Naturally, the last thing fans want to hear is that during the offseason, All was hit by a vehicle.
Alas, here we are.
Late this week during training camp, All revealed that back in June, he was struck by a “moped” type of vehicle while on vacation in Greece.
Luckily for All, he used the brush with a serious accident as motivation for football, naturally.
"I got back up and I'm feeling, 'I'm (bleeping) ready. I'm ready. It didn't hurt. It gave me the confidence I can come back. I felt like I got stiff-blocked," All said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals .com. "It was huge. That did a lot of good things for the mental."
It’s an odd story, no doubt. And All had injury concerns smash his draft stock a few years ago before he suffered a season-ender with the Bengals. Then, complications from surgery cost him all of last season.
Even so, All’s solid all-around game is a key factor for Joe Burrow’s offense next year. If this brush with a weird vacation accident is as bad as things get for him, it’s probably good news.
