    ESPN’s Ben Baby reports that Bengals rookie WR Colbie Young is competing for OC Dan Pitcher’s “passing target No. 3" role.

    Baby’s practice notes indicate that incumbent No. 3 WR Andrei Iosivas and No. 1 TE Mike Gesicki are the other two competitors for the role, and both players “had productive springs.” Pitcher also said RB Chase Brown “can sometimes be viewed as a slot receiver,” but those types of comments are common in the summer and rarely pan out in the fall. Iosivas and Gesicki have been helpful contributors, but the fact that the team is searching for an answer at the No. 3 receiving role is indicative of their ceilings. Pitcher believes Young is “going to fight and battle” this summer, and thinks there are things Young “can do quickly and help us.” If he can actually become the team’s third-most voluminous target earner, he could pay off as a late-round best ball pick.

    Bengals selected Georgia WR Colbie Young with the No. 140 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

    Young is a towering X-receiver (6’5/218) who The Athletic’s Dane Brugler compared “stylistically” to Broncos WR Courtland Sutton. Young, 23, spent one season at Lackawanna College before transferring to Miami in 2022 and Georgia in 2024. He was suspended for nine games and served 12 months of probation following a 2024 and missed six games in 2025 after undergoing surgery in-season for a fractured left fibula and torn ligament. Young averaged 14.7 yards per reception in his final college season. He will likely begin as an NFL backup entering a Bengals wide receiver room led by Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
