Andrei Iosivas, a 26-year-old wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, revealed that he faced severe online harassment last season, including messages urging him to 'kill yourself.' This negativity stemmed from a disappointing performance where he recorded a team-high five drops. Iosivas expressed that this vitriol affected his mental focus during the season, leading to a decline in his overall production, with only 33 catches for 335 yards and two touchdowns. In contrast, he had previously achieved a combined 10 touchdown catches on 51 receptions over the prior two seasons. As he prepares for the upcoming season, Iosivas aims to adopt a new mindset, stating he will not let external opinions influence him. He emphasized the importance of focusing on his abilities and maintaining confidence, especially as he competes for attention behind star receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in the Bengals' lineup.
