The Cincinnati Bengals have a decision to make about one of their wide receivers, so it only makes sense they explore all their options.
With all the uncertainty regarding Tee Higgins and whether he’s going to be traded or force his way out of the team, they might keep an eye on the future as well.
With that in mind, they’re going to keep a closer eye on one of the most promising wide receivers in this year’s class.
According to a report by Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, they’re going to host Washington star WR Jalen McMillan for a visit (via Around The NFL).

McMillan was a three-year starter for the Washington Huskies and one of Michael Penix Jr.’s favorite targets.
He logged 164 receptions for 2,143 yards and 17 touchdowns in 38 appearances in college, and he ran an impressive 4.47 in the 40-yard dash.
He has good measurables for his position, standing at 6-foot-1, 203 pounds.
The 22-year-old is projected to be a Day 2 pick, and the Bengals currently have a couple of selections they could use to get him.
The Huskies ran a pass-heavy offense and Penix made sure that all his top receivers ate, and that’s similar to what the Bengals run with Joe Burrow, Tyler Boyd, Higgins, and Ja’Marr Chase.
The Bengals are coming off a disappointing season derailed by Joe Burrow’s injuries, but they should be back to Super Bowl contention again next season, even under a new offensive coordinator after Brian Callahan left the team.
