WATCH: Highlights of Bengals’ Daxton Hill in college
The Cincinnati Bengals used their first-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft on a versatile safety they hope can have an impact right away.
Said safety is Daxton Hill, an elite, rangy player defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo is ready to turn loose in the scheme.
“This guy can cut, he can blitz off the edge and recover good against the run. And he’s good at getting off blocks and things like that. We’re getting a good overall football player,” Anarumo said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “We’re going to let him come in here and then see what the shiny new toy can do. We’re excited about him.”
Rest assured Hill’s highlights offer plenty of proof that he can do these things in a hurry for the defense.
Daxton Hill is going to give a lot of teams a lot of headaches.
The #Bengals defense continues to become one big versatile weapon.
In 2022, Hill will plays tons of snaps and make them a better team. That’s a great player to snag at 31. #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/CskVCsy6Tq

Daxton Hill is certainly an interesting weapon to plug into the #Bengals defense.
Interested to see how Lou Anarumo rolls him out. No secret that the Bengals love to play with 3 safeties. pic.twitter.com/4r6v7er1jj
