The Bengals brought down all the Rookies and a couple of younger players to Fort Knox yesterday to visit the facilities and do some drills with the local youth. 
Below are a few pics


Ivey doesn't get a lot of love here, so he gets the 1st picture


 

Andrei wouldn't leave me alone until I took a picture with him


The funny thing about the Andrei picture was I cropped the Ball Boy coming up on my right out of the shot. Once I got home I realized it was Charlie Jones


Former Bengal RB and current Director of Player Personnel Eric Ball

I kept challenging Turner to a race. he wanted no part of the smoke


Evans seemed like he wanted to be somewhere else


Kirkland is a big dude:

lol awesome shots, bfine!

But why are they so blurry?

Because I suck at taking pictures, The originals are very small



BTW, I have no idea who this is. I thought maybe Chase Brown

EDIT: Jacob Saylors

Myles Murphy


Brad Robbins

My sources tell me Bfine will be the team’s new water boy

Nice job capturing the moments, even if not top quality shots. Must have been quite uplifting to meet the team up close and personal.

I was going to say; these look like they were taken on a potato.

Still cool nonetheless.

I have a Pixel 7. They're supposed to have great cameras.

I would guess it's probably something in how they're uploaded onto the site, if they look good on your phone. 

Regardless of the quality still cool! 

Nice pictures. Love seeing these guys getting out and about. I guess Chris Evans is an enigma everywhere that he goes….

Too Cool

Thanks for sharing these and glad you got to go out there and meet some of the youngsters.
Instead of the ball boy you should have cropped out that big ugly dude in the orange shirt!

Neat pictures. Is visiting that area a new thing for them? I have some family in the Radcliff area who probably would have liked to go.

As to the picture quality, I noticed you posted the Iosivas pic in the Jonah Williams trade thread, and it's noticably clearer there.

Somebody said "They thought I was tall" I'm over 6'; it's just Andrei's a beast, Here's the picture before I cropped out Charlie Jones; he's listed at 6'0". I was taller than him



Here' Ben Gals Delaney and Trish make me look taller

I've never seen them visit before and I would know. I wanted to share it prior but they wanted it on the DL. As I understand it, the Kids /families didn't even know it was the Bengals until the day of the event. they thought they were doing drills with the HS team.

Yeah, as someone said earlier it may be how I upload the pics. The only way I know how to do it is load them to my Facebook profile and then copy the https://

If you're ever down visiting family give me a shout. Drinks on me.

Perhaps, I'm unfair to Evans, but the dude just didn't seem to care. As the kids approached his blocking dummy, he had no encouragement and didn't even engage with his dummy. After the kids went to the next dummy, he'd then make it like he was moving his.  

I'd imagine it would be easy for him to feel insulted as a "vet" traveling with the rookies, many of which will be bagging groceries in a couple of months, but the only other vet I saw there was Sydney Jones IV. That dude was awesome with the kids, I'll definitely be pulling for him. 

Really cool!

Great pics, thanks for sharing!

I saw a YouTube clip of a news report on their trip.  Evans volunteered to be manhandled by one of the trained attack dogs.  Of course he's wearing the oversized protective gear and all, so he can't exactly get much momentum going.  I just wonder if he may have been feeling some ill effects from that encounter- assuming it happened before the interaction with the kids.
