The Bengals rounded out their 2016 draft class with a pair of productive college players with plenty of NFL upside: wide receiver Cody Core of Ole Miss and safety Clayton Fejedelem of Illinois.
Core, whom the Bengals took in the sixth round (pick 199), lined up opposite Vikings first-round pick Laquon Treadwell as part of the Rebels’ high-powered receiving corps, posting 37 catches for 644 yards and four touchdowns in 2015. At 6-3, 205 pounds, he adds both size and speed (4.47 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine) to the Bengals’ receiving corps.
“He has physical tools and goes up and catches the football,” said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis.
