The Cincinnati Bengals met with Georgia offensive tackle Warren McClendon virtually before the 2023 NFL draft.
The Draft Network’s Justin Melo reported the Bengals were one of a handful of recent virtual meetings for the Bulldogs star, who won two national championships and started in the SEC for three seasons.
That resume alone will make McClendon attractive to the Bengals on draft day. But it doesn’t hurt that he’s a 6’4″, 304-pound tackle who has multi-position potential as a backup.
Given some of the line issues in Cincinnati, topped by a starter and long-term backup need at right tackle, McClendon makes a lot of sense as a target.
