The Cincinnati Bengals could target Ohio State offensive tackle Dawand Jones during the first two rounds of the upcoming 2023 NFL draft.
Jones, 6’8″ and 374 pounds, seems like a natural fit at right tackle for a team that doesn’t know the future of veteran La’el Collins as he rehabs a December injury, plus the Jonah Williams trade request.
Obviously equipped with a rare frame, Jones will force opposing pass-rushers who typically win with power to change up how they do things, to say the least.
Currently, Jones is going viral for throwing down a dunk that made its way to social media, as noted here:
Dawand Jones is the definition of a FREAK athlete.
The heaviest NBA player to ever dunk a basketball was Oliver Miller at 375 pounds.

That won’t change the draft evaluation any, but it’s impressive nonetheless — and might make pickup games with Bengals players more interesting, to say the least.
