The Bengals might have just bagged one of the steals of the draft. Cincinnati used the 24th pick of the NFL Draft's sixth round on Ole Miss wide receiver Cody Core, whose blend of size and speed make him one of the more intriguing under-the-radar pass catchers in the 2016 class.
Core arrived in Oxford as a 6'3", 173-pound, two-star recruit in Hugh Freeze's first recruiting class, which was a mad scramble to inject talent into a program whose talent pool was so thoroughly drained by Houston Nutt. At the time, not much thought was given to Core, with the few who did notice him hoping he might one day provide good special teams depth.
