Report: Bengals Held In-Person Visit With Local Cornerback Carrington Valentine

CINCINNATI — The Bengals reportedly brought in nearby draft prospect Carrington Valentine for a visit. Justin Melo reported Cincinnati's interest in the Kentucky cornerback as the team keeps secondary players on its draft radar.

"I’ve had Zoom meetings with the Packers, Commanders, Cardinals, Lions, Jets, and Raiders," Valentine told Melo. "I had an in-person visit with the Bengals."

The Cincinnati native attended Moeller High School before playing at Kentucky.

Valentine's stock has dropped pretty heavily since the start of February when he ranked 75th on the consensus big board. Now, he is down to No. 230 and a projected seventh-round pick. The Athletic's Dane Brugler has him slated as a sixth-round pick and noted in "The Beast" that he's a Bengals fan.

The 21-year-old posted 48.5 tackles, 11 pass breakups, and 1 interception last season.

Carrington Valentine is a CB prospect in the 2023 draft class. He scored a 9.29 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 156 out of 2171 CB from 1987 to 2023. https://t.co/4qVx4dZ8eA #RAS pic.twitter.com/BGpenVTcLL

One of my favorite, underrated CBs in a LOADED class is Carrington Valentine from Kentucky. Super Super physical and is active in all aspects of the game. Not to mention he’s from Cincy and is a Bengals fan 🤷 pic.twitter.com/t61qXKuWVl
