Joe went to Freedom High School, and while there played basketball and football, focusing primarily on football as a running back. He was a starting running back and compiled a record of 1,134 rushing yards, alongside 13 touchdowns in his sophomore season, while in his junior season, young Joe rushed for 1,443 yards, scoring 21 touchdowns. He improved year by year, and in his final year Joe had 1,704 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns. Thanks to his great performance, Joe was rated as the first running back in the nation by Rivals.com and after receiving close to 50 scholarship offers, Joe committed to play football for the University of Oklahoma.
Unfortunately, even before starting his college career, Joe was involved in an assault which saw him suspended in his first year – he punched a woman named Amelia Molitor after he and his friends molested her, resulting in several broken bones in Amelia’s face, and so surgery. The two sides reached a settlement for an undisclosed fee and Joe’s public apology to Amelia, plus Joe received 100 hours of community service and had to take counseling. However, Joe returned to the field and in his first game posted the record for the longest catch made by a Sooner freshman running back, a 76-yard long touchdown reception. He continued in great form and had seven rushing touchdowns, and caught four touchdowns. Following the end of 2016 season, Joe declared for the NFL Draft – although he was a high prospect, Joe’s temper reduced his draft position, and he was eventually chosen by the Cincinnati Bengals as the 48th overall pick, signing a contract worth $5.45 million over four years, with a signing bonus worth $2.10 million, which strongly established his net worth.
Joe made his debut on the 10th September 2017 against the Baltimore Ravens, but his team lost 20-0. He played in 14 games, seven of which were starts, and scored four rushing touchdowns from 626 rushing yards, while he also added 287 receiving yards. Unfortunately, with seven wins and nine lost matches, his Bengals didn’t make it to the playoffs, despite his contributions.
When it comes to his personal life, Joe tends to keep his most intimate details hidden from the public eye, therefore, no reliable information is made available about this young NFL star.
