I just read he did or was going to enter the draft last year but then decided to back out due to an ankle injury that wasn't healed.

Thanks, Goose. That is rough. Hopefully he eventually regains his form and can slide out to RT.

It looks like we just signed him as a UDFA.

I was thinking we'd see a UDFA QB joining the Bengals by now.

They've signed the nephews of Bo Jackson and Ironhead Heyward.

Breaking: UDFA Auburn WR, Shedrick Jackson, nephew of Bo Jackson is signing with the Cincinnati #Bengals

Shedrick Jackson is a WR prospect in the 2023 draft class. He scored a 9.27 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 226 out of 3062 WR from 1987 to 2023. #Bengals https://t.co/UCVN3m6a9X pic.twitter.com/CEf4EQ9RKJ

He is reported to have 4.25 speed.  I dont know if thats true but he looks very fast

reported signees

G     Jaxson Kirkland-Washington
S      Larry Brooks-Tulane
LB    Shaka Heyward-Duke  (Cam Heyward's cousin)
RB    Jacob Saylors-East Tennessee
RB    Calvin Tyler-Utah State
DT    Devonnsha Maxwell-Tennessee Chattanooga
RB    Shedrick Jackson-Auburn  (Bo Jackson's nephew)
TE    Christian Trahan

I think Shedrick is a WR.

He looks like a tackle in that pic.

6'3 245 is far from tackle size lol

He looks huge in that picture.

Was hoping they'd sign Christian Izien from Rutgers. Kid was a playmaker. 49'ers just grabbed him.

Alabama LB Jaylen Moody per Pelissero

What is a TE? is that a real position?

that should be made into a meme between Zack and Duke. 

[Redsbengalsbucks]

An all around TE to be at the back of the room this season, sounds good
