Andrei Iosivas

Personal receiver coach Drew Lieberman told The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. that Bengals second-year players, WR Andrei Iosivas and RB Chase Brown, “made the fastest improvement of any players [he’s] ever had.”

Passing comments from HC Zac Taylor in end-of-season exit meetings, prompted Iosivas to seek out the acclaimed Lieberman, whose recent students include Brandon Aiyuk, Evan Engram, Jakobi Meyers and Dontayvion Wicks. Taylor imparted the same message unto Brown, and Iosivas later extended the invitation to join him and Lieberman in Atlanta. The duo spent the first of two months training in Lieberman’s unique catching system before focusing on route running techniques. Both players face in-house competition for their respective receiving opportunities but Dehner’s report is a positive step toward weekly fantasy football relevance.
