When one thinks about interceptions on the Cincinnati Bengals, names like Cam Taylor-Britt, DJ Turner and even Dax Hill might come to mind these days.
But a certain rookie has something to say on the topic.
On the first day of training camp, it was actually seventh-round rookie Daijahn Anthony picking off the first pass of the summer on a pass by Jake Browning.
If that’s a sign of things to come, the battle for roster spots at safety could be more interesting than anticipated.
Former first-rounder Dax Hill has already moved out of the spot for the Geno Stone-Vonn Bell-Jordan Battle trio. But now Anthony has some interesting upside while competing with the likes of Tycen Anderson.
Special teams will come into the conversation for the final 53, too. But Anthony just gave himself a nice little headstart — not bad for a guy who started at the Divison II level, then went from Liberty to Ole Miss, then the Bengals.
