On a sunny morning on April 14, the Cincinnati Bengals hosted a workout for 32 former college football players at Paycor Stadium, providing them a platform to showcase their skills. Participants included notable local athletes such as Matthew McDoom and Jack Dingle, both from the University of Cincinnati Bearcats, and Jalen Kitna, son of former Bengal Jon Kitna. The players donned Bengals-issued gear and underwent an hour-long workout, with hopes of impressing the coaching staff. While only a few may be retained for further observation, the event was a significant opportunity for these athletes to pursue their NFL dreams. The NFL draft is set for April 23-25, with free agent signings following shortly after. Many participants, including Dingle and McDoom, expressed their excitement and determination to make the most of this chance, reflecting on the significance of performing in front of their hometown team.
