The Cincinnati Bengals have added two more undrafted free agents who will compete for Zach Taylor’s offensive line jobs this summer. According to reports, Kansas Jayhawks wide receiver Kwamie Lassiter II and Georgia Tech offensive tackle Devin Cochran join the defending AFC Champions.
Kansas WR Kwamie Lassiter II signs with the Bengals, according to the source.

Lassiter spent five seasons in Kansas with the Jayhawks in 2017 as a redshirt. In 2020 he was a All-Big 12 Honorable Mention for 43 catches for 458 yards and two touchdowns.
Last season, he had 59 grabs for a career-high 563 yards and three points. The 6-foot, 185-pound receiver hails from Chandler, Arizona and finished his college days with 148 catches for 1,550 yards and seven touchdown grabs.
Cochran is a 6-foot-7 offensive tackle who played at Vanderbilt from 2016-19. He switched to redshirt as a true freshman in 2016 and then started in 32 games for the Commodores from 2017-19. In 2018, he played 96 percent of Vanderbilt’s offensive snaps.
After sitting out the COVID-shortened 2020 season, Cochran played his final collegiate season at Georgia Tech in 2021 and received an All-ACC honorable mention. He started all 12 games for the Yellow Jackets in left tackle.
Cochran was forecast as a Round 7/Priority free agent going into the draft, so this is a solid win as a UDFA.
The duo joins Coastal Carolina wide receiver Jaivon Heiligh, Costal Carolina running back Shermari Jones, Ole Miss offensive lineman Ben Brown, Kentucky tight end Justin Rigg among the offensive undrafted free agents reportedly signed by the Bengals so far.
On the current roster, Nebraska wide receiver Stanley Morgan has been with the team since 2019 after not being drafted from Lincoln.
Someone I actually know something about. Improved every season at KU in the PFF class. Split time between the slot and wide.
Knows how to sell and separate route: He was open on 85.9% of his goals (94th PCTL). Mediocre production but was at KU so hard to judge. https://t.co/ye4p4gB0wv
