Zac Taylor Knows From Experience Rookie WRs ‘Can Be Bigtime Playmakers Week One’ As His Bengals Prepare For George Pickens

Zac Taylor is entering his fourth season as head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. The first two didn’t go so well, but he really started putting together the building blocks of the team, particularly the offense, that was able to make a nearly successful Super Bowl run in 2021, starting with quarterback Joe Burrow in the first round and then wide receiver Tee Higgins in the second.

He followed his second draft class by kicking off his third with another bang at the receiver position in Ja’Marr Chase. With those two, he knows first-hand very well that it doesn’t have to take rookie wide receivers long to come out of the blocks like gangbusters.
