Who the Bengals met with at the 2023 NFL Combine

The NFL Scouting Combine has come and gone, and clubs will move onto the next phase of NFL Draft preparation.

As for the players, this was the first time many of them have spoken to various teams. There’s even a good chance the one who will draft them met them for the first time in Indianapolis.

It doesn’t always work like that, and the Cincinnati Bengals can attest to that, but formal meetings between teams and players remain noteworthy. They’re clear tells to gauge where the team might be looking in the draft from a positional standpoint. If a position pops up abnormally often, that’s significant.
