Vigil did get some playing time last year as a Rookie, he wasnt horrible nor was all world flashing, I wouldn't say he is a lock as the starter.

Bengals do play a lot of Nickel with only two backers and 5 DBs, but it would be nice to be deep at LB and get actual value at the #9 rather

then reaching or trading back with 11 picks as it is.

I think it was more of a backup plan/motivational tactic with Burfict.  If he doesn't show up in shape, he could find himself on the bench.  I think, if motivated, he is our absolute best player at any position on the team, but he has to be 100% determined to be at his best for that to happen.  We have seen flashes, but not enough consistency.

I liked what we saw in limited action from Vigil last season.
