The offensive tackle group for the Cincinnati Bengals has been making waves in the NFL for its size, especially with the addition of Trent Brown and Orlando Brown Jr. through free agency. The team further solidified their line by drafting Amarius Mims at No. 18, who stands at 6’8″ and weighs in at 340 pounds. This makes the Bengals’ offensive line one of the largest in the league, with a clear preference for big-bodied players on the edges.
Amarius Mims, being able to learn from experienced veterans with similar body types but on different sides of the line, could greatly benefit his development in the league. His size is impressive and towers over his teammates as showcased in images shared by Bengals radio announcer Dan Hoard. Comparatively, other players like D’Ante Smith and Cody Ford measure at 6’5, 309 pounds and 6’3, 329 pounds respectively, making Mims stand out even more for his size.
The attention to detail and coaching provided to Mims and his fellow rookie teammate by O-line coach Frank Pollack is a positive sign for their growth and progress within the team. With their large stature and experienced veterans on board to teach them, this offensive tackle group has all the potential to be one of the best in the league.
