Like every team, the Cincinnati Bengals put in some work at the NFL’s scouting combine in recent days.
And like every year, those in attendance kept track of who the Bengals “formally” met with from the large group of prospects.
The Bengals haven’t been shy about just how important it is to get those one-on-one chats with prospects at events like the Senior Bowl and scouting combine. Even then, the connection between meetings and actual draft picks has been fleeting at best.
Still, it’s interesting to see where and how Duke Tobin have been doing their due diligence at the biggest draft pitstop of the year, so here’s a meetings tracker.
