Want to feel old? Cincinnati Bengals players have started to help in this regard upon arrival.
Dax Hill, Cincinnati’s first-round pick this year expected to rotate in all over the secondary right away, won’t turn 22 years old until after this season’s third game.
That makes him younger than Paul Brown Stadium itself, a first, as detailed by Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com:
“The birth of Ja’Marr Chase, last year’s first-rounder, came on March 1, 2000, when the building was getting a final paint job. Same with last year’s third-rounder, Joseph Ossai, born April 12, 2000.
Hill was born Sept. 29, 2000, three games into the season and two days before Dick LeBeau made his debut as Bengals head coach against Miami at PBS.”
Paul Brown Stadium opened on August 19, 2000. This fun fact comes at an interesting time as well considering the stadium’s lease expires after the 2026 season, which means negotiations with Hamilton country on upgrades/enhancements and lease extensions will unfold soon.
