I've mentioned before that I'm a former TCU DB (long time time ago) and still have connections to the program. Fig is a good player and an even better human. He Walked into that 2022 team as a transfer with a new coaching staff and was the vocal leader of a defense that played in the national championship. If you recall, his opposite side CB in '22 was Tre' Tomlinson (Ladanian's nephew) who won the Thorpe award and was a 6th round pick by the rams last year. I watch a lot of DB film and Fig is a better player than Tre'.
Last year was a down year for the program with some turmoil on that side of the ball but Fig showed up and played every single day. I think he's going to have some impact plays for the Bengals this year. So glad we drafted him.
Awesome post TCUBengal. Love the insight from a former player on that team, you know your stuff. I watched a lot of TCU games with Fig
and Tre and those were some very good Corners and I also thought of the 2 that Fig was better. Was just a down year as you say after having
the Championship season the year before. A lot of people had Fig Newton as a 3rd rounder and we got him much later than that.
Could be a major steal where we grabbed him.
