Cam Taylor-Britt is growing into a significant playmaker for the Bengals' secondary. jfmckessy profiles Taylor-Britt's rise throughout his rookie year to his first career INT this weekend. RuleTheJungle
he suffered in the preseason led to an injured reserve stint to start his rookie season. He returned as soon as he was eligible in Week 7 but was limited to 28 snaps in his first game. One week later, the second-round rookie finally stepped into a starting role, something he wouldn’t give up for the rest of the season.
Despite becoming a starter nearly immediately, Taylor-Britt’s performance didn’t immediately stand out. In that first start against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8, he dove for an attempt at a pass deflection, missed, and allowed a 37-yard gain for receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones. His second start wasn’t anything to write home about either as his most impactful play was an illegal contact penalty called on him for the Carolina Panthers’ first first down of the game late in the first half.
From that point on, things started to turn in the right direction for Taylor-Britt. In a big divisional game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11, he came up big in some important moments and recorded a team-high 12 tackles, nine of which were solo. A week after that, the rookie had another good game that included a phenomenal effort to force a Derrick Henry fumble just short of the goal line, even though the Titans managed to recover in the end zone.
