The Cincinnati Bengals decided to double-dip at the linebacker position, this time adding the ultra-athletic Akeem Davis-Gaither. The coaching staff got a good look at him in the Senior Bowl and decided he was their guy at the top of the fourth round.
In his senior year, he racked up 201 tackles, 24 for a loss, along with 5 sacks. His versatility is something to note, as he’s able to rush the passer and has the tools to develop into a good coverage linebacker.
The team now has three very young linebackers in Davis-Gaither, Logan Wilson, and Germaine Pratt.
