Bengals’ Dax Hill making position switch from safety to cornerback
The Cincinnati Bengals drafted Dax Hill in the first round in 2022 to be their eventual starting safety. After a roller-coaster 2023 campaign, the club re-evaluated Hill’s situation.
Over the weekend, head coach Zac Taylor told reporters that the plan is to move the former first-rounder from safety to cornerback.
“We’ve seen it from him and we think it’s the best opportunity right now to help our team,” Taylor said, via Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer.
Hill’s struggles as a full-time starter led the Bengals to sign Geno Stone and bring back Vonn Bell in free agency. The former Michigan produced suffered miscommunication breakdowns and, despite impressive speed, failed to make game-changing plays.
