After bringing back Samaje Perine in free agency to pair with Chase Brown , the Cincinnati Bengals have felt like a team done at the running back position this offseason, minus perhaps a small late-round draft move.
That makes Cincinnati's meeting with a top NFL draft running back pretty interesting.

According to Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz, the Bengals are one of the teams set to host Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins on a visit ahead of the draft.
Judkins was dominant over his last three college seasons, rushing for 3,785 yards and 45 touchdowns on a 5.1 per-carry average. In many expert rankings, he's one of the top five backs in the upcoming draft class , which is saying something in an Ashton Jeanty-dominated class.
The Bengals would be an interesting fit for Judkins if he makes it to them in the second round, to say the very least. They wanted Perine back for his familiarity with the program and pass-blocking ability while otherwise keeping Brown as the workhorse.
But Judkins joining the rotation with Brown would be a huge boon for an offense that already gives defenses fits with how much they have to pay attention to the passing game, never mind a strong one-two punch out of the backfield.
