Many fans and pundits have suggested the Bengals should target a safety in this year’s NFL Draft, including myself. But today, I wanted to take a moment to play devil’s advocate (to an extent) by looking at Bengals veteran safety Reggie Nelson.
The focus on Nelson is simple. Many people suggest Cincinnati should target a safety, again including myself, for a couple of reasons: Nelson’s age and his (and George Iloka‘s) impending free agency.
Reggie Nelson is no spring chicken in NFL years; he’ll turn 32 near the start of the 2015 season.
