I've mentioned before that I'm a former TCU DB (long time time ago) and still have connections to the program. Fig is a good player and an even better human. He Walked into that 2022 team as a transfer with a new coaching staff and was the vocal leader of a defense that played in the national championship. If you recall, his opposite side CB in '22 was Tre' Tomlinson (Ladanian's nephew) who won the Thorpe award and was a 6th round pick by the rams last year. I watch a lot of DB film and Fig is a better player than Tre'. 

Last year was a down year for the program with some turmoil on that side of the ball but Fig showed up and played every single day. I think he's going to have some impact plays for the Bengals this year. So glad we drafted him.

I've heard it said about him (I cannot find anything to substantiate) that when he was at Louisiana-Monroe. He would go "looking" for food at restaurants to supplement his meal plan to get all he needed.  

Also. he was recently on a X-post w/ Chad and said he had to watch mis mouth because his coach was near. 

I'm definitely pulling for the kid and if he don't make it; I doubt it will be because of work ethic or character.
