The Cincinnati Bengals have had a busy offseason, but amidst all the roster changes they’ve made, they’ve largely left the linebacker position alone. This could be an indicator that they like what they saw in the young linebackers they selected in 2019 and 2020.
One of those young linebackers is Akeem Davis-Gaither.
A fourth-round pick from last year’s draft, Davis-Gaither played a large role in substitution packages and on special teams last season. Could he step into a starting role on defense in 2021?
