For the first time in half a decade, the Cincinnati Bengals have an All-Pro.
Jessie Bates III has been named to the All-Pro second-team by the Associated Press. It’s the first time a member of the Bengals has made any AP All-Pro team since 2015. Andrew Whitworth and Geno Atkins were voted to the All-Pro first-team that season with Reggie Nelson making it onto the second-team.
Three safeties made it onto the first-team. Tyrann Mathieu, Minkah Fitzpatrick, and Budda Baker received the most votes at the position from the AP’s panel of 50 voters.
