Amarius Mims and Trent Brown lined up in uniquely massive formation

Much has been said and is understood about just how massive the offensive tackles for the Cincinnati Bengals are in 2024.

Meaning, Brown (6’8″ and 359 pounds) and Mims (6’8″ and 340 pounds) combined to roughly put 700-720 pounds on the right side of the line for weapons to run behind in short-yardage situations.

Brown still projects as the starter at right tackle while Mims learns as a rookie. But this particular set? It might just cause some problems for opposing defenses, even though they know what’s coming.
