Story summary

On May 27, 2026, the Cincinnati Bengals signed undrafted cornerback Ceyair Wright and drafted Tacario Davis.
Zach Pressnell praised Wright as a 6-foot, 185-pound former USC/Nebraska starter who covers slot, helps stop the run, and can contribute on sub-packages.
Todd McShay said Davis is a tall press corner with strong length, top-end speed, the fifth-fastest 40-yard dash at the combine, and the ability to disrupt routes and break up passes.

History

Historical Context

After selecting running back Ki-Jana Carter with the first overall pick in the April 22-23 1995 NFL draft, the Bengals have repeatedly reshaped their roster through the draft. In May 2026 they added undrafted safety Ceyair Wright and drafted cornerback Tacario Davis, echoing past attempts to strengthen a secondary that helped the team reach a 12-4 record and an AFC North title in 2022.
