Trey Hopkins seems like the offensive lineman that no one has noticed on the Bengals in camp so far. He doesn’t have quite the hype around him that guys like Jake Fisher or Christian Westerman do, since he didn’t have their draft pedigree.
However, Hopkins has proven himself more so than either of those players have to this point, especially in his starts from last season. Looking at 2018, Hopkins may have inherent value to this Bengals team because he provides versatility along the line that no other lineman has.
Coming out of college, Hopkins had already had experience at multiple positions along the offensive line.
