Bengals standouts after mandatory minicamp includes surprises
The Cincinnati Bengals had some notable standout players over a handful of days at mandatory minicamp this week. Some were expected, like Joe Burrow and his star wideouts such as Ja'Marr Chase looking good. Advertisement We won't focus on those here. Rather, we'll look at some unexpected and lesser-known names who put on good showings and put themselves in a good position ahead of training camp. WR Jermaine Burton How about the turnaround story for Burton? He's said and done the right things and big names like Burrow have said the right things about him, too. He looked good while working on the field itself, too. Not good enough to suddenly supplant Andrei Iosvias behind the two big receivers, but it's a nice thing to see him starting to reach toward some of that high-upside potential. RELATED: Bengals news: Jermaine Burton buzz, practice urgency and more DE Cam Sample Sample is on his way back from the torn achilles that he suffered last season and again looks like a guy who could have a rotational role along the defensive line. The Bengals desperately need him to step up with Shemar Stewart and Trey Hendrickson holding out and Myles Murphy a question mark. DL TJ Slaton While BJ Hill is very much still around on his new deal, it's free-agent arrival TJ Slaton who has been taking a notable leadership role for the Bengals in minicamp. He's a key guy to watch for the unit, so it's a good thing he's already seeming like a guy who has been around for years. LB Demetrius Knight While the Germaine Pratt thing has been a distraction, Knight has looked laser-focused on proving the Bengals made the right choice with him in the second round. He's already looking like a natural next to Logan Wilson and appears well on his way to a big starting role.

USA TODAY Sports' says this former Alabama player, NFL wide receiver must step up in 2025
USA TODAY Sports' says this former Alabama player, NFL wide receiver must step up in 2025 It is likely no secret that the 2024 NFL season was a struggle at times for former Alabama Crimson Tide wideout Jermaine Burton. Selected with the No. 80 overall pick in the third round of the 2024 NFL draft by the Cincinnati Bengals, Burton did not necessarily have the type of season many expected the former Alabama wide receiver to have. That is because across 14 games, Burton only had a combined four receptions for 107 yards. This was a far cry from what Burton showcased during his two seasons at Alabama as well, a span in which he had 79 receptions combined for 1,475 yards and 15 touchdowns. Burton also led the SEC with an average of 20.5 yards per reception in 2023, and averaged 26.8 yards a catch as a rookie. Looking ahead to year two as well, according to USA TODAY Sports' Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz, Burton is one-of-nine second-year NFL players who must step up for their respective teams' in 2025 coming off rough rookie seasons, saying of the former Alabama wideout: "Third-rounders typically don't need to worry about their standing after just one year, even in the most trying circumstances. But while the Bengals didn't cut ties with Burton despite the receiver's disappointing rookie year culminating with him being left at home for the regular-season finale, it's clear massive changes are needed for a course correction." 'Nobody should be happy with it,' Burton said last week when asked about the benching. 'I was very disappointed, but it's something that I moved on from, and grew from, and can't wait, looking forward, really looking forward to this year.' "With Andrei Iosivas having solidified his standing as the No. 3 receiver behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins while Mike Gesicki returns at tight end, any substantial offensive contributions are likely out of reach for Burton in the near future. What matters now is not just getting in coaches' good graces but staying there. While a spot as a backup should be secure given the Bengals' inaction in bringing in any outside competition this offseason, Burton is one of the few players who might stand to benefit from establishing a pattern of overall reliability rather than the flash plays he's already shown himself capable of." A team with Super Bowl aspirations, it's clear that the 2025 season is a big one for the Bengals, as well as Burton, who will look to bounce-back from a rough rookie campaign.
