With Darqueze Dennard and Josh Shaw potentially becoming free agents in 2019 and Adam Jones already gone, it is not a surprise the Bengals looked to add cornerbacks in this year’s draft. Illinois State’s Davontae Harris was not a player who was widely talked about leading up the the draft, but the team has since revealed he was a player they had long targeted. Could Harris be the future at nickel cornerback for the Bengals?
A nickel corner needs to have speed and coverage ability similar to what is desired in an outside corner, but the physicality to help in run support.
