Bengals head coach Zac Taylor has confidence in Trey Hill as backup center

There are always a few surprises when it gets to the final cutdown day in the NFL.

The Cincinnati Bengals’ biggest surprise may have been the amount of trust they are putting in their rookies to be backups along the offensive line.

Former Georgia Bulldogs center Trey Hill may be the most surprising as a sixth-round pick. Head coach Zac Taylor thought the rookie made it an easy decision, though.

Zac Taylor said rookie center Trey Hill’s “play speed,” strength and improvement in practice gives him confidence in the Bengals sixth round pick as the backup center.
