Some winners from the Bengals’ offseason program

-Andrei Iosivas looked like the best receiver on the field this summer, with Chase and Higgins not participating. He’s combining his athleticism with much improved routes.
-Chase Brown’s ability to make plays as a pass catcher had taken a step. He’s also a lot stronger than he was last year. He’s a big piece of the RB room.
-Mike Gesicki is a big piece of the “eye candy” and versatility of the offense.
-Charlie Jones is moving around more instead of focusing on just the slot
-Amarius Mims said he has recognized the trust in him from the coaching staff as he earned first team reps. They’ve given him a lot of chances to get on the field, including a 6 OL set.
-Devin Cochran, out last year with an injury, has an interesting skill set at tackle. He’ll be a guy to watch in camp.

Teams who can develop players win in the NFL. Starters need to improve. Backups need to improve to push starters or improve depth as injuries will happen. Rookies need to develop and no longer play like rookies at the end of the year.

As for those mentioned, great to see 2 second year WR's showing promise. I like Chase Brown and think he could have a breakout year. Mims and Cochran would be huge pieces for depth for our OL, again injuries will happen.

I think Gesicki is licking his chops playing with Burrow and 2 of the best WR's in football getting attention.

I am an optimist, but I love our team and if we can keep the key guys healthy and avoid season ending injuries, I feel we can compete with anyone in the NFL.
