We’re deep into the pre-draft process and the Bengals have shown a clear interest in the top edge rushers in this year’s class.
After bringing in Kentucky’s Josh Allen and Florida’s Jachai Polite last week, the Bengals hosted Mississippi State’s Montez Sweat for a top-30 visit, per Alex Marvez.
Sweat has been one of the biggest risers of the draft circuit. A transfer originally from Michigan State, Sweat put together two productive seasons at Mississippi State and earned an invite to the Senior Bowl. Coming into Mobile, Sweat was regarded as a day two prospect; and left as a potential top-20 pick.
