The Bengals have had issues with speed and pass defense from the linebacker position over the past few seasons.
No more.
The Bengals have revamped their linebacker group and selected 3 in the 2020 NFL Draft.
What stands out about these three is that they are all excellent in coverage.
Logan Wilson had 10 career interceptions at Wyoming.
Akeem Davis-Gaither had 5 interceptions this season for Appalachian State.
Markus Bailey had 6 in 3 full seasons at Purdue.
All 3 have demonstrated the ability to read the quarterback and react to make plays.
This video looks at what this trio can do in coverage.
