The Cincinnati Bengals have eyes on a local prospect ahead of the 2023 NFL draft.
According to Justin Melo of The Draft Network, the Bengals had an in-person visit with Kentucky Wildcats cornerback Carrington Valentine.
Valentine, 6’0″ and 193 pounds, projects nicely as a man-coverage defender who might be able to line up against bigger threats like tight ends, similar to how the team used Tre Flowers, who remains a free agent.
Cincinnati attacking cornerback in the draft isn’t a new theory by any means. Even after signing Sidney Jones, Eli Apple is still a free agent and depth going into the opener remains a concern.
When the draft rolls around, the Bengals might just keep it local to fix some of the depth concerns.
