The secondary is one area that the Cincinnati Bengals need to address over the offseason, especially at the safety spot.
Maybe they'll look to add an All-Pro at the position in free agency.
Bengals named best landing spot for Kevin Byard
The Bengals were recently named the best potential landing spot for All-Pro safety Kevin Byard by Mason Cameron of Pro Football Focus.
Byard led the entire NFL in interceptions last season as a member of the Chicago Bears and was named a First-Team All-Pro for the third time in his career. Bengals defensive coordinator Al Golden would certainly like that kind of production in his secondary.
“Byard is a true deep center fielder with natural ball-hawking skills. Over the past three seasons, the veteran safety has produced a 90.4 PFF coverage grade as the deep-free and deep-third defender,” Cameron wrote.
“That capability allows him to make plays on the ball, having secured an NFL-leading seven interceptions for the Bears this past season. His experience would also provide a veteran voice in the coverage unit, something sorely lacking in Cincinnati this past season.”
