The Cincinnati Bengals are starting to get incredibly busy ahead of the 2021 NFL draft.
While the front office focuses on free agency, team personnel have been all over the place, including recently attending the Oklahoma pro day for key prospects.
Elsewhere, the Bengals dialed in on another interesting draft target — Kansas State edge defender Wyatt Hubert. According to Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle, Cincinnati reps were at his pro day and talked to him after it concluded.
Hubert looks like a standard versatile piece for a multiple defense like Lou Anarumo runs. He made most of his headway while standing up as a pass-rusher in the college, tallying 20 sacks over three seasons.
He’s impressing plenty, to say the least:
K-State’s Wyatt Hubert is one of most underrated prospects in ‘21 draft. Tape & analytics (@PFF 90.8 pass rush) align. Will have immediate sub-downs role as rookie. Could go sub-7.00 in 3-cone today, which would be incredible for 265-lb. edge player. 👀 #TheDraftStartsInMobile pic.twitter.com/ncjgiQ4Uvo

The Bengals don’t really shy away from guys they end up drafting, so Hubert is one to keep an eye out for in the mid-rounds as they look to bolster the pass-rush.
