The #Bengals have signed tackle Andrew Coker ahead of Sunday's game where Orlando Brown Jr.'s status is in question
Coker most recently played for the Raiders after signing as a college free agent out of TCU and didn't make the 53-man roster
.@TCUFootball LT Brandon Coleman is already getting plenty well-deserved early-round buzz but @seniorbowl also believes overlooked bookend RT Andrew Coker is legit draftable prospect as well.
Our veteran former Dallas Cowboys scout Walter Juliff noticed Coker and Coleman at a practice last fall when scouting former teammate Steve Avila, who used big week in Mobile to propel him to No. 36 overall pick by L.A. Rams.
Coleman (6043v 320v) plays with upper-hand more than any OL we’ve studied in 2024 class. He’s got torque & power to create sudden movement at POA and simply big-boys LBs at second-level.
@b_coleman77 started all 15 games at LT last year but has also started at both OG spots. He’s plenty long enough (34 7/8 arm) to play on edge as pro but teams that covet big physical guards who can stay square & anchor are going to project him inside. 🇩🇪
Coker, who enters fall with 35 starts at RT, is a well-coached technician that uses his hands and length (34 3/8 arm) well in both phases.
@ACoker74 has good mobility & maneuverability in run game for tackle spot and he consistently patient & balanced in pass pro.
Bottom line, guys with Coker’s frame (6066v, 304v), P5 starting experience, and good tape usually don’t last past fourth round in NFL draft.

I can’t believe you had surgery 4 months ago. 4 to 6 month recovery but you are a fighter with relentless determination. To embrace the heart of a champion, you have to dream big & do bigger. Be Resilient & Carry On. A champion will overcome setbacks & obstacles. @CokerAshton
