Two talented players who could provide long-term upgrades at key positions.

The Cincinnati Bengals have a lot of holes to fill on defense. And while the team has some promising young corners, there is always room to add more talent.

According to Elise Jesse, the Bengals met with Penn State Nittany Lions DB Kevin Winston and “that meeting went well.”

Winston is 6’2” with long arms and was a team captain, but his instincts and technique aren’t ideal.

In other news, the Bengals also met with Texas Longhorns tight end Gunnar Helm, according to Daniel Alameda.

Helm has a nice catch radius and good ball recognition, though he was surrounded by a lot of talent on that Longhorns team.

It’s still pretty early, but so far it seems Cincinnati’s front office is looking at some exciting players.
