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.
Well I played in the mid/ late 00's so it was a little different then.
Yeah he was mocked as a top 50 player before the season. He's doesn't have elite measurables and I think only ran a 4.51 at the combine at 5'11", but he has high end instincts and is a very physical corner. Could be a really good slot corner for us over the next few years.
The Bengals have always been friendly to TCU players going back to Matt Schobel. Which speaking of, the Schobel clan (Matt, Aaron, and Bo who all 3 played in the NFL) have sons who are starting to play D1 ball.
