Darqueze Dennard is getting healthy and anticipates a return to full contact when the Bengals open training camp. However, Dennard won't settle for that as he wants to be the team's No. 1 corner.
For much of Marvin Lewis' tenure, he's made sure cornerback is a position that never lacks talent.
Between Deltha O'Neal, Leon Hall, Johnathan Joseph, Terence Newman, and now Adam Jones, there's typically been at least one star corner on the Bengals' roster at a time, and typically more than one. But of all the corners Lewis and his coaches have developed, it wasn't that long ago that he said Darqueze Dennard was the best rookie corner he'd ever seen.
