Bengals breakout candidate requested HOF-level film to improve his game

This Bengals player is doing the right things to help a breakout happen.

The Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver room has been one of the better groups in the league for the past few years with Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd leading the way.

Now with Chase’s current status up in the air, Higgins possibly leaving after the season ends and Boyd already gone in free agency, there are some targets – now and in the future – to go around from Joe Burrow.

Andre Iosivas, who the Bengals drafted in 2023, wants to be the guy to earn those, and he has apparently been looking toward one of the all-time great wide receivers to try to improve his game after he made the move to the slot in training camp.

Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic wrote that Iosivas has been requesting film of Larry Fitzgerald and Keenan Allen, two players who are of similar stature to the 6-3, 205-pound slot receiver, from the Bengals video staff.

“Guys in the slot that have been Hall of Fame guys, and also (Tyler Boyd),” Iosivas said to The Athletic. “Keenan and Larry are both bigger dudes, if I can play to that skill set and see what works for them, I can try to incorporate it into my game as well.”

In 16 appearances last season, Iosivas had 15 catches for 116 yards and four touchdowns, but now he is going to have a chance to break out in what should be a strong Bengals offense, and he is going to the right places to look for tips.
