When the Cincinnati Bengals drafted center Billy Price with their first round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, offensive line coach Frank Pollack said he saw similarities between Price and five-time Pro Bowl center Travis Frederick.
At the time, Pollack saw both players as strong and fundamentally sound linemen who had the potential to “anchor an offensive line.”
It was a similar set of circumstances with offensive guard Michael Jordan, who the Bengals took in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Jordan was one of the Bengals biggest investments at guard in the previous 20 years.
