Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher calls Casey “the ultimate team player,” who “you would never know had a playing career … from a work ethic and just a willingness to do all the dirty work. All the things that are not glamour and garner the attention or credit. That’s just who James is. That’s why he’s a great asset for.”
“I tried to be the ultimate competitor,” Kpeenu said when asked about what he proved at the event. “I wanted to prove I belong among the prospects from the FBS conference. I went out there and put my best foot forward in everything that I was doing.
“My models are really, really high on Downs and his alignment versatility. He falls into a similar category as guys like Nick Emmanwori, Kyle Hamilton, Derwin James and Minkah Fitzpatrick in terms of being multiple and extremely smart.”
In terms of points per game, the Bengals have ranked seventh, 16th, sixth, and 12th from 2022 to 2025, respectively. During the 2023 and 2025 campaigns, the Bengals offense slipped because Joe Burrow missed at least six games in both seasons.
It’s the busiest week of the NFL offseason, and every team sends its scouting staff and key personnel members to meet the top draft prospects and watch them go through a series of on-field tests. Most player agents are there, too, at some point during the week.
