The Cincinnati Bengals figure to address linebacker at least once in a high-profile fashion this offseason.
On the drat side of things, Bengals personnel used the 2020 NFL combine to meet with both LSU’s Patrick Queen and Oregon’s Troy Dye.
The Queen meet, reported by Jordan Reid of The Draft Network, is a big ordeal given the LSU star’s stock. Queen is a probable first-round pick and would probably be the best player available on many boards if he made it to the top of Round 2 thanks to his three-down capabilities, including his ability to match up well in coverage.
As for Dye, noted by Malik Wright, he’s a veteran Oregon star with versatility who could have some value as a potential starter in time.
This is merely the tip of the proverbial iceberg as far as the Bengals meeting players goes. But the emphasis on big linebacker names is noteworthy.
