Bengals Darrin Simmons | Deep Dive Into The Bengals 2023 Draft

Special Teams Coordinator Darrin Simmons joins In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to recap the Bengals 2023 draft. Coach Simmons gives his scouting routine and how he looks at these prospects in a different light compared to other coaches on the Bengals staff.

The Bengals selected a specialist in Round 6 of the draft with Brad Robbins. Robbins punted at Michigan and was one of the best punters in college football last season. The Bengals had a need at punter and Robbins should be a major upgrade he's also a fantastic holder on field goals, never fumbling a snap during his time at Michigan.

The Bengals 4th round selection, wide receiver Charlie Jones from Purdue is also a talented return man. During his time at Iowa before transferring his last year he returned punts and kickoffs and was very explosive at both. The Bengals really haven't had an explosive return man since Pac-Man Jones so Jones will not only be exciting to watch on offense but on special teams as well.
