The Cincinnati Bengals have been linked to B.J. Thompson during the run up to the 2023 NFL draft.
Following up on that, The Draft Wire’s Justin Melo reported that the Bengals will host Thompson on a top-30 visit on Wednesday.
Thompson, 6’6″ and 240 pounds, drummed up nine sacks and 13 tackles for loss over the course of his collegiate career. He fits what the team wants as far as versatile depth that could come in and immediately boost the pass-rush on a rotational basis.
Adding to the pass rush is something the Bengals could do as early as Round 1, but Thompson is a good example of a guy they could target later depending on how the board falls.
#Bengals are hosting @SFA_Football EDGE BJ Thompson on a Top 30 visit tomorrow, per league source.
Thompson departs the Lumberjacks with 9.0 sacks and 13 TFLs under his belt.
