Like I said, Mitchell Tinsley I believe is pre- pretty much the best player that they ended up waiving at the conclusion of this preseason.
He didn't really make that much of an impact in any preseason game aside from this past one in which he had a 31-yard catch down the sideline.
He ended up fumbling that right after the catch was made.
But it just wasn't the same as, you know, when he first ascended up the depth chart last off-season.
And he was last off-season's Dante Myers, right?
You remember Mitchell Tinsley was added last February on, like, a, like, the cheapest NFL contract that you could possibly sign.
He was a no-name guy throughout mini camp and at the start of training camp.
And just like Dante Myers, you know, he, he, you continue to make plays against the third stringers on defense, you get more and more opportunities, you look the same against better competition, and he proved that on the preseason field.
And that's what Mitchell Tinsley did last off-season.
It's what he did, you know, leading up to the regular season.
It's even what he did during the regular season.
It's n- there are not a lot of receivers that beat Christian Gonzalez in one-on-one coverage and score a touchdown, but that's exactly what Mitchell Tinsley did in a regular season game last year.
So Tinsley is definitely good enough to make an NFL roster somewhere.
It's just not gonna be with the Cincinnati Bengals.
