The Bengals made it down to Tallahassee for the Florida State Seminoles’ pro day.
There, defensive coordinator Teryl Austin got an up-close look at All-American safety Derwin James, who is considered one of the top defensive prospects in this year’s draft.
The star safety from Florida State is regarded as one of the top defenders in this year’s draft, and he’s someone who could be great value at the No. 12 pick.
As a junior in 2017, James racked up 84 tackles, two interceptions and one defensive touchdown. He also deflected 11 passes.
