The Cincinnati Bengals spurred a reunion of former teammates this offseason in free agency by bringing aboard cornerbacks Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander, formerly of the Minnesota Vikings.
Waynes, as seen in the social media post below, was thrilled about the reunion.
Waynes, a first-round pick by the Mike Zimmer-led Vikings in 2015, was the first to agree to sign with the Bengals after a $42 million offer sheet went out. Alexander, a second-round pick by those Vikings in 2016, signed a prove-it deal.
With Waynes on the outside and Alexander in the slot, Cincinnati has some instant chemistry between two of its top corners. Based on their play style in the past, they also have sure tacklers against the run and guys who don’t get penalized often.
