Bengals CB Cam Taylor-Britt ascending to elite status

Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt is backing up trash talk with elite play.

Even though the Cincinnati Bengals are off to yet another slow start to begin the season, there have still been some bright spots to look at, like the emergence of third-year cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt.

The PFF Bengals’ Twitter account posted Taylor-Britt’s numbers through the first two games, and they show that he has become one of the better corners in the league. In 60 coverage snaps, he has allowed just three receptions, had one interception and forced an incompletion while receiving a coverage grade of 88.6, which is first among all cornerbacks.

Taylor-Britt found his name in the national conversation before the Week 2 game against the Kansas City Chiefs when he made some bold comments about rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy, but he backed them up by playing very well and bringing in an extremely impressive one-handed interception.

Now Taylor-Britt has made some comments about the Washington Commanders offense, which they play in Week 3, showing that his confidence is through the roof and he’s not afraid to talk trash to the opposing team, knowing he can back it up.

In 24 games with the Bengals, Taylor-Britt now has five interceptions, 19 passes defended and 114 total tackles, and he will try to continue his elite play for the full season, hoping to turn the season around after two losses.
