The Cincinnati Bengals have had some pleasant surprises this offseason, but none bigger than the one who is biggest physically.
Jermaine Burton has looked great, but we all knew the talent was there.
Matt Lee looks like he could become a long-term answer at center, but he’s a rookie who was just drafted because of that upside. Plus, center isn’t necessarily one of the highest profile positions.
So the biggest surprise award goes to Jaxson Kirkland, who was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Washington last year and stuck around on the practice squad in Cincinnati.
