The Cincinnati Bengals brought in Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson for a pre-draft top 30 visit last week. The spotting in Cincinnati has many Bengals fans in hopes of landing a young quarterback in the first round of the 2018 draft. Unfortunately, this seems to be mostly smokescreen and even if Jackson is there at 21, the Bengals won’t take him.
Even with ESPN’s Todd McShay coming out and saying that the Bengals are one of the teams in the hunt for the Louisville product, I don’t see Cincinnati pulling the trigger. Most likely Jackson will be long gone by the time the Bengals make their selection but the case is being made if he is there at 21.
