3 Rising Bengals Prospects to Monitor in Preseason Training
As the Bengals begin their off-season workouts with strong attendance, three young players are making notable impressions. Here's a detailed look at these emerging talents:
Scotty Washington - Tight End
- Former wide receiver who converted to tight end
- Added 30 pounds for the position transition
- Known for physical playing style and athletic ability
- Competing for snaps with Thaddeus Moss, Mitchell Wilcox, and Drew Sample
- Will need to prove himself following CJ Uzomah's departure and Hayden Hurst's signing
Cordell Volson - Offensive Guard
- 2022 fourth-round draft pick
- Strong candidate for starting left guard position
- Known for consistent run-blocking ability
- Competing with Jackson Carman for the starting role
- Could provide needed stability to Bengals' offensive line
Drue Chrisman - Punter
- Making second attempt at Kevin Huber's punting position
- Previous attempt ended due to injury
- Must prove holding abilities for field goals
- Challenging Huber's 13-year tenure
- Special teams coach Darrin Simmons emphasizes holding skills as crucial requirement
Currently, only veterans Jessie Bates III and Trey Hendrickson remain away from the facility. These young players' performances during preseason workouts could significantly impact the Bengals' roster decisions for the upcoming season.
