Bengals host versatile lineman for pre-draft visit

The Cincinnati Bengals love versatile offensive linemen. Cody Ford’s two-year contract extension was likely due to his ability to play four positions on the offensive line on short notice, so it is no shock to see them hosting a versatile prospect ahead of the NFL Draft.

Miami Hurricanes guard/tackle Jalen Rivers visited with the Bengals on Monday, per Adam Schefter.

Rivers was a top recruit for Miami in 2020, when he was originally brought in to play tackle, but played the 2021 and 2022 seasons at left guard. In 2023, he moved to left tackle to start his first season as an offensive tackle.
