On Tuesday, during OTAs near Paycor Stadium, Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Dax Hill began his journey as an outside cornerback in front of onlookers. The former first-round pick and starting safety last year had his position changed to cornerback this offseason while the team added veterans Geno Stone and Vonn Bell in free agency. During the practice, Hill spent a significant amount of time on the boundary, potentially competing with former second-rounder DJ Turner, while Cam Taylor-Britt secured the other side.
Dax Hill’s progress as an outside cornerback will be crucial during training camp. Standing at 6’0 with 32 1/4″ arms and running a 4.38 speed, he possesses the necessary physical attributes for the position. It will be intriguing to see how defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo utilizes Hill’s skills on defense as he adjusts to his new role.
The story originally appeared on Bengals Wire, with tweets from Dan Hoard highlighting Hill’s performance during practice. As he competes for playing time alongside Geno Stone and Vonn Bell, it will be fascinating to see how Dax Hill adapts to his new position and proves himself as a valuable asset to the Bengals defense in the upcoming season.
