Why Bengals tackle La’el Collins deserves more praise heading into 2023: Strictly Stripes Podcast

The last year has been tough for Bengals right tackle La'el Collins.
After a rocky start to the first half of the 2022 season, Collins eventually found his groove during the Bengals' eight-game win streak to close the regular season. He tore his ACL in Week 16 at New England and is still recovering from that injury with the offseason workouts in the books.
Collins was considered a cap casuality going into next year but all signs point to him being a Cincinnati Bengal in 2023. That's why he was ranked at No. 25 on cleveland.com's Top 25 Bengals for 2023 list.
But will Collins even be ready for Week 1? And if he is, will he see much of the field, enough for him to make the list?
The Strictly Stripes crew debates whether Collins should've ever been on this list and if he's not getting enough credit like he deserves.
This podcast features Mohammad Ahmad, Andrew Gillis and Michael Niziolek.
