The Cincinnati Bengals will have some big shoes to fill on defense this coming season, especially in the secondary.
After losing Jessie Bates III to the Atlanta Falcons, and Vonn Bell to the Carolina Panthers, the two starting safeties from this past Bengals defense will now be suiting up in the NFC. That leaves the Bengals turning to second-year player Dax Hill as one of the primary options heading into the new year.
On Tuesday, newly re-signed linebacker Germaine Pratt was asked about Hill taking over the back line of this defense, and Pratt expressed some great confidence in what he expects from the 2022 first-round pick out of Michigan.
