How the Cincinnati Bengals Draft Strategy Helps Maintain Dominant Special Teams Play

According to Football Outsiders, the Cincinnati Bengal’s finished the 2019 season with the best special teams unit in the entire NFL. In fact, the team has finished with a top ten unit six times since 2010, consistently proving they have the ability to be one of the best in that regard.

A lot of the success can be attributed to long time special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons, who just received a contract extension and the title of assistant head coach.
