Dax Hill: Everything you need to know

Hill tallied 88 tackles (57 solo) and 11 passes defensed, including one interception, across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025. Hill turned in respectable production totals while handling essentially an every-down role at cornerback for Cincinnati, when healthy. The 2022 first-round pick was one of the Bengals' more reliably playmakers in coverage in 2025, and he'll remain with the team for the 2026 campaign while playing out the fifth-year option on his rookie contract.

Hill recorded six tackles (three solo) with two passes defensed in Thursday's 32-14 win over the Ravens. Hill has been a key part of the Bengals' secondary this season, logging over 95 percent of defensive snaps in nine games. He has at least six tackles in four of his last five games with at least one pass defensed in three consecutive matchups.

Hill recorded six tackles (three solo), one tackle for loss and one pass defensed in Sunday's 34-12 loss to the Steelers. Hill has been a steady contributor in the Cincinnati secondary and that continued in Sunday's loss. He now has at least five tackles in three straight games and could reach 100 total stops for the second time in his four-year career.
