The Cincinnati Bengals are searching for depth at the tight end position behind free agent signee Hayden Hurst and former second-round draft pick Drew Sample.
It may have an answer in former undrafted free agent wide receiver-turned-tight end Scotty Washington.
Washington, who signed as an undrafted free agent with the Bengals following the 2020 NFL Draft out of Wake Forest, has been on the team’s practice squad ever since, has been impressing during OTA’s after switching positions to tight ends.
The 6-foot-5 Washington made a catch in each preseason game last season, but none for more than a nine-yard touchdown grab against the then Washington Football Team.
