    Bengals signed Duke LB Shaka Heyward.
    Heyward (6’3/235) has ideal size and length for a linebacker and utilizes those traits to excel as a wrap-up tackler. His impressive 34-inch arm length allows him to extend for runners other defensive players would be unable to get to, while his 4.53 speed allows him to close quickly on runners within range. Mental lapses in both the running and passing game can lead to him being caught out of position at an above average rate, with his stiff hips hampering his ability to quickly correct course. A four-year defensive starter at Duke, Heyward also contributed frequently on special teams, excelling in both kick and punt coverage. His special teams acumen could earn him a role early in his career, and help him hang around as a defensive backup.
