I think his skillset is needed too. But, I could name player after player who as a rookie or 2nd year guy had a skillset that the Bengals needed and didn't play.
Look at Ross and Westerman last year. Hopkins was soo bad and Westerman didn't get reps until the end of the year. The offense needed speed at WR and Ross sat the bench. They also brought Jackson along slow ever though it was apparent he was the best CB. Giving MJ insanely more snaps over Willis.
I could prob name others too.
Bates needs to see the field a decent bit as pass coverage from Safety is a big need.
