The Atlanta Falcons had 4 rookie starters on Defense last year.
Hopefully, the Bengals are aware of this as teams tend to mimic other successful teams approaches and we decide to let the rookies play sooner & more often.
Marvin also had to notice how the Steelers let rookie Artie Burns play at Corner last season.
Maybe they move up from the 31st ranking and get the young players feet wet sooner & more often going forward.
