While free agency takes center stage, the Cincinnati Bengals continue to work the paces of the upcoming 2021 NFL draft.
While the Bengals have sent offensive line coaches to certain pro days of top prospects, the team has also been in contact with other prospects.
Such as Iowa wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette, according to The Draft Network’s Justin Melo.
A four-year player at Iowa, Smith-Marsette tallied 1,615 yards and 14 touchdowns for his career, averaging a strong 14.7 yards per catch. He’s a 6’1″ target with experience returning punts and kicks too, which naturally makes him an attractive target for the Bengals.
Cincinnati is bound to attack the wideout position at some point this offseason as they look to get a solid third to run with Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd. Smith-Marsette could fit that, should the team avoid spending on the position in free agency and instead relegate the need to a mid-round pick.
