Why the Bengals should sign Laken Tomlinson
Photo by Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/Getty ImagesLaken Tomlinson, the left guard of the San Francisco 49ers last year, just turned 30 last month. He made his first ever Pro Bowl in 2021. So is he a late-bloomer or just a stable presence? Either way, the Bengals should be interested.
Why he fits: The 315-pound lineman was originally drafted by the Detroit Lions, where he played alongside Riley Reiff and had Brian Callahan as his QB coach. So he is familiar with some of the faces in Cincinnati. In San Francisco, he ran wide zones under Kyle Shanahan, something that fits with what Frank Pollack and the Bengals’ line like to do.
