Bengals undrafted free agents worth watching at OTAs

Sky F1

A handful of Bengals undrafted free agents could make the final roster. That starts at OTAs.

As we get deeper into the offseason and teams start hitting the field more, we'll start getting more looks at the new crop of Cincinnati Bengals . In particular, we'll get a chance to see the undrafted rookies the Bengals brought on and see who has a chance to make some noise and potentially crack the 53-man roster in Week 1. Last season, defensive tackle Howard Cross III and long snapper William Wagner made the climb from undrafted free agent to the active roster.

Who has a chance to do that this season? Here are three names to watch as we get to OTAs. Christian Jones, OT, San Diego State Jones certainly brings a lot of length to the table.

He measures six-foot-nine and 349 pounds and has massive 36 3/4-inch arms and a wingspan of almost 89 inches. He has experience playing both tackle and guard. The Bengals must like what they see in Jones and think they can develop him into something.

They gave him a $50,000 signing bonus, which is nothing to sneeze at as an undrafted free agent. Eric Gentry, LB, USC Gentry is an intriguing prospect. He has unique size for a linebacker, particularly for him being six-foot-seven.
