Much has been said and is understood about just how massive the offensive tackles for the Cincinnati Bengals are in 2024.
But seeing it is a whole different thing.
During this week’s first mandatory practice, the Bengals put the newly-arrived Trent Brown next to first-round pick Amarius Mims in a jumbo set on the right side of the line.
Meaning, Brown (6’8″ and 359 pounds) and Mims (6’8″ and 340 pounds) combined to roughly put 700-720 pounds on the right side of the line for weapons to run behind in short-yardage situations.
Brown still projects as the starter at right tackle while Mims learns as a rookie. But this particular set? It might just cause some problems for opposing defenses, even though they know what’s coming.
