1. Cam Taylor-Britt Gets The Jump on Burrow

It doesn't happen often, but Joe Burrow got picked off by Cam Taylor-Britt who lined up in the slot and blanketed Mike Gesicki on an out route.

"We can be moved anywhere," said Taylor-Britt. "You just don't know what we're in. The disguises are amazing and we get Joe sometimes."

2. Joe to Ja'Marr

And on the very next snap, Burrow hit Ja’Marr Chase in stride for a 70-yard TD.

"I knew he was pissed off when he threw that pick," said Tee Higgins. "I didn't know THAT was coming…I just looked up, the ball was in the air, and Ja'Marr was catching it."

3. Lofty Expectations for Iosivas

Higgins, by the way, expects big things from Andrei Iosivas after having 36 catches for 479 yards and six TD in his second year.

"Y'all see him," said Tee. "He got bigger. He got stronger. And he got faster. He's twitchier and he knows everything right now. It's great to see."

4. Extra Defensive Work

The day on defense begins with a rotation of four drills (the video shows two) where they punch, strip, and rip the ball away.

"That's technically before practice," said Logan Wilson. "Guys are choosing to come out and get those reps. "That translates to turnovers in games."

5. Dax Hill On the Comeback

Dax Hill is running and cutting on a rehab field. Once he's cleared to play, it will be fun to see where he lines up.

"I'm going to put him in position to cover and blitz," said CB coach Charles Burks. "Corner, nickel, whatever. He has an elite skill set, and we plan to use it."

The Bengals continued Phase Three of offseason workouts, Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at Kettering Health Practice Fields.
