The Cincinnati Bengals have a preseason breakout rookie on their hands with wide receiver Andrei Iosivas.
Iosivas entered training camp as a first-year player who might be able to live up to some of his immense physical traits right out of Princeton and perhaps make the final 53.
He exits camp as a lock and one of the immediate backups with eyebrow-raising upside.
The strong summer continued for Iosivas on Saturday against the Washington Commanders in the preseason finale, as he went up to get a pass from Jake Browning, scored, then even hit a Ja’Marr Chase-inspired griddy for good measure:

Iosivas obviously still isn’t going to challenge for major snaps in 2023, but the Bengals clearly have something there.
