Bengals add star RB to Chase Brown-led backfield in new mock draft

THE Cincinnati Bengals seems to have something special with running back Chase Brown.

But that doesn’t mean the team won’t significantly increase his position this offseason.

Any idea? Drafting a high profile name is what CBS Sports offers Josh Edwards What the Bengals are doing with Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty in his latest mock draft:

Tee Higgins could continue this offseason despite a public campaign from Joe Burrow. If that were to happen, there are other ways to supplement the passing game. Clyde Edwards-Helaire became a first-round pick after working with Burrow. His contributions in the passing game were a main reason for this heavy investment.

The passing game talk there is meant to highlight Jeanty’s 2023 season in which he caught 43 passes for 569 yards and five scores. More impressive, however, are his 2,601 rushing yards and 29 scores on a 7.0 per carry average that have him in the Heisman hunt this year.

Just as it is difficult to imagine the The Bengals actually lose Tee Higgins At this point, it’s hard to imagine the team would spend a first-round pick on a running back right now.

But never say never applies – and the idea of ​​Jeanty’s place in a Joe Burrow offense is certainly fun.
