CINCINNATI — CBS Sports analyst Mike Renner took notice of Dax Hill on Saturday night for the right reasons in Cincinnati's 17-14 loss to Tampa Bay.

"Loved what I saw from Bengals CB Dax Hill in his first game there after playing SAF the past 2 seasons," Renner tweeted this week. "So much more comfortable and confident. Showed up in his play speed. Has all the tools to be a special one."

Hill finished with four tackles and three pass breakups in the game (90.2 PFF grade, third-best on the team). He is vying for the starting second cornerback spot with D.J. Turner II. ESPN's Mina Kimes chimed in with praise as well.

Getting to the Bengals--thought Dax Hill, now at corner, looked fantastic. Super smooth in man coverage, great job making plays on the football. Bounce-back season for him at a different position would be massive for CIN. pic.twitter.com/lpcVXIrzVE
