Cedric Ogbuehi poised to have a breakout season in 2016

The Bengals' second year offensive tackle has potential that can't be ignored.

The Bengals' selection of Cedric Ogbuehi in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft took many fans by surprise, but in retrospect, it looks like a great selection. In limited snaps down the stretch of the 2015 season, Ogbuehi didn't have a single blown block.

ESPN's Vincent Verhei noted this, listing Ogbuehi as a serious candidate to break out in 2016.

The 21st overall pick out of Texas A&M played only 65 snaps in five games as a rookie, sitting and learning behind the Bengals' starting duo of Andrew Whitworth and Andre Smith.
