The Cincinnati Bengals have a propensity for drafting cornerbacks early. Unfortunately, their recent first round picks at the position haven’t panned out.
Dre Kirkpatrick, Darqueze Dennard, and William Jackson III never really found great success in the NFL for a variety of reasons.
But that doesn’t mean the front office will be deterred from taking that approach once more, especially when the team is in need of a long-term answer at corner.
So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the Bengals met with Emmanuel Forbes, an absolute coverage machine from Mississippi State, last month.
