Drew Sample tabbed as 2021 breakout candidate for Bengals

The strength of the Cincinnati Bengals is their passing game. In today’s NFL, that’s the best strength a team could have, but it still needs to get better.

For Joe Burrow’s second season at quarterback, tight end Drew Sample will need to continue progressing. The former second-round pick will enter his third year in the league next season, and the Bengals would benefit greatly from the tight end hitting his stride as a receiving threat.

Sam Monson of Pro Football Focus thinks Sample is the under-the-radar player to break out in Cincinnati in 2021.
