Bengals met with Notre Dame DL Isaiah Foskey at scouting combine
The Cincinnati Bengals need to upgrade the pass-rush this offseason and made a point to seek out Notre Dame edge defender Isaiah Foskey at the scouting combine.
According to Ryan Roberts of Irish Breakdown, the Bengals were one of seven teams to meet formally with Notre Dame’s all-time leader in sacks (26.5 — 22 of those came over his final two seasons).
Foskey, 6’5″ and 264 pounds, projects as a starting defensive end in time, with NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein even giving him a Yannick Ngakoue comparison — a free agent, coincidentally, who has been mentioned as a fit on the Bengals several times recently.
The Bengals arguably have bigger needs at spots along the offensive line and at tight end, but if the board falls the right way, it’s easy to envision Foskey is one of their best players available pretty early in the process.
