As the Bengals gather for their annual rookie minicamp, they’ve announced the arrival of 13 undrafted free agents.
One of them is a member of the family (even though no NFL team is truly a family, from the perspective of the players); former Wisconsin receiver Darius Hillary is the son of former Bengals receiver Ira Hillary, who played for the Bengals from 1987 through 1989.
The other dozen new Bengals are Mississippi State defensive end Ryan Brown, Texas A&M running back Tra Carson, Houston guard/center Alex Cooper, Virginia defensive tackle David Dean, Wisconsin receiver Alex Ericsson, Western Kentucky receiver Antwane Grant, Michigan State linebacker Darien Harris, Bowling Green quarterback Matt Johnson, Eastern Kentucky running back Dy’Shawn Mobley, UCLA guard/center Alex Redmond, Toledo receiver Alonzo Russell, and Montana State tackle John Widenaar.
The rookie minicamp runs from Friday through Sunday.
