Bengals At LSU's Pro Day

[BFritz21]

We were among nine teams to have our DB coach in Baton Rouge scouting Derek Stingley, which I figured there'd be more than 9.

Quote:Stingley has had an interesting pre-draft process, to say the least. Once thought of as the surefire first cornerback off the board, there are some that believe he could fall out of the top ten and be, at best, the second corner taken behind Cincinnati’s Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner.

Injuries obviously played a role in the question marks surrounding Stingley over the past two years, but teams know how special he can be, as shown by his remarkable freshman season in helping lead the Tigers to the national championship.

Personally, I want no part of Stingley and hope we just visited as smoke and mirrors.

As for other prospects:

Quote:Another name to keep an eye on is DT Neil Farrell Jr. Farrell totaled 144 tackles in 52 games (21 starts) across five seasons, including starting all 12 regular-season games for the Tigers in 2021 with two sacks and 9.5 tackles for a loss.

On the offensive side of the football, LSU has OT Austin Deculus at 6’5″, 321 pounds. Deculus holds the record for most games played in LSU history with 61. Of those 61 games, he started 47, including every game he appeared in over the last three seasons (missed Week 2 game against McNeese State) and started 12 of 13 games in 2018. Deculus was mainly right tackle for LSU.

I don't really think Farrell would be too good of a fit here. Deculus could be good for depth to block for Joe if a starter gets injured could develop into decent player.
