Cincinnati Bengals 2021 NFL mock draft: The way-too early edition

Here’s an early look at a 2021 Cincinnati Bengals mock draft.

No. 66 – Mustafa Johnson, DT, Colorado

University of Colorado junior defensive end Mustafa Johnson (34) scoops up a fumbled ball after sophomore inside linebacker Jonathan Van Diest (31) sacked Colorado State junior quarterback Colin Hill (15) during the Rocky Mountain Showdown rivalry football game on Friday, August 30, 2019, at Broncos Stadium at Mile High in Denver, Colo.

Johnson was an All-Pac-12 First Team selection in 2018. He recorded 16.5 tackles for a loss and 8.5 sacks that year. Injuries limited him to eight games in 2019 but he still had four sacks. He would work in behind Geno Atkins (who is starting to get up in age) among the defensive tackle rotation. Oh, and the guy he is trying to model his game after? None other than Aaron Donald.
