Bengals boast best skill position group in AFC, says ESPN

The game of football and the world of football media is so incredible because you can ask the same, or similar, questions to different media personalities and get a variety of answers.

Take, for instance, the makeup of the Cincinnati Bengals. We just wrote about how the Bengals fell just short of making a top-five list of complete rosters over at NFL.com. But the folks at NFL Live on ESPN ranked their top skill-position groups in the AFC and look who sits at No. 1.

That’s right, the Cincinnati Bengals. Ahead of the Bills, ahead of the Chargers, the Chiefs, even those Broncos that they fell short against in the NFL.com article.

In fact, ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky thinks the Bengals’ unit leads the entire league, let alone the AFC.

“The triplets at wide receiver alone are bonafide superstars,” said Orlovsky.

In addition, Orlovsky loves Joe Mixon and is also excited about the prospects of new tight end Hayden Hurst in the middle of the field.

Interestingly enough, teams like the Chiefs and Broncos didn’t even make Orlovsky’s top five. The Las Vegas Raiders actually came in at No. 2, followed by the Chargers, Bills, and, interestingly, the Miami Dolphins.
