Bengals HOF tackle Munoz likes Washington OT Troy Fautanu

Anthony Munoz reveals which OT he likes for the Bengals in the draft.

The Cincinnati Bengals are currently in need of a right tackle since Jonah Williams is about to be a free agent, but with the draft coming up late next month, there are a lot of options available they could take in the first round.

One of those players is Washington’s Troy Fautanu, who could still be available when the No. 18 pick comes around. A former Bengals Hall of Fame offensive tackle likes what he sees in Fautanu according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com.

Here’s what Anthony Munoz, who played in the Pac-8, said about the Pac-12 tackle:

“There’s not a lot of respect for the Pac 12, but the left tackle for Washington is pretty impressive,” said Munoz, who has his weight exactly right. “Since they were in the playoffs, I saw a lot of him. Impressive. I watched his workout and they had him at 317 pounds and he was moving pretty well. The guy from Oregon State is also excellent.”

Fautanu had an impressive showing at the scouting combine with a 5.01 time in the 40 and a 1.71 time in the 10-yard split, a top-10 time.

If he is available when the Bengals pick comes up, the Bengals will certainly have their eyes on him.
