You nailed it!
Everything post draft called him a Safety, even in the Bengals presser the DB coaches were doing it and were talking about being the ones who worked him out.
Roster spot wise I see this kid competing directly against Peerman and Alex Erickson. Mixon is taking Burkhead's vacant RB spot on the roster.
I know they love Peerman, but he is older now and the Bengals are clearly looking to get younger, faster, bigger, stronger.
I thought it interesting, though, that on Bengals.com Hobson recently noted that the Bengals coaches love Erickson and that keeping 7 WR was likely, with cuts at other positions.
Erickson, I thought, showed great potential last season as a WR, but he was outstanding on Kickoff returns.
This will be one exciting offseason of camps. Hopefully they all stay healthy and competition makes the units stronger.
