Washington's reputation for producing NFL-caliber defensive backs continues with rookie cornerback Tacario Davis. After an impressive training camp with the Cincinnati Bengals, Davis is positioned as a backup behind veteran Dax Hill. With starting cornerbacks entering contract years, Davis, selected in the third round of the 2026 NFL draft, could soon earn a starting position.
Davis showcased his abilities in three preseason games, accumulating 11 tackles and an interception. Defensive coordinator Al Golden lauded the 6-foot-4 cornerback, noting his strong football intellect and rapid adaptation. His ball-hawking skills and imposing frame have already made a significant impact on the Bengals' secondary, an area that ranked 26th in total passing defense last season.
