4) Drew Sample

Drew Sample has always been a silent operator for the Bengals, being the team's blocking tight end while flashier talents like CJ Uzomah and Hayden Hurst caught passes.

However, with Tyler Boyd gone, the team is expected to move towards a double-tight end sets, which should mean an even more significant role - even if Mike Gesicki will get more targets than him.
