Cincinnati Bengals

Noah Thomas

WR

Thomas led Texas A&M with 574 yards and eight touchdowns in his junior season. He subsequently transferred to Georgia for his senior season and got lost in the shuffle, finishing with 16 receptions for 254 yards (sixth on the team) and four touchdowns over 13 games. With a 4.62 40-yard dash at 6-foot-5, 203 pounds, Thomas is likely aiming for a practice-squad role.

Jamal Haynes

RB

Haynes didn't start until his third year at Georgia Tech when he broke out with 174 carries for 1,059 yards (6.1 YPC) and seven touchdowns. His efficiency dropped off over the next two seasons, bottoming out at 4.3 YPC in his fifth year. Still, Haynes has pass-catching chops with 33 receptions for 257 yards in his final season. He'll need to prove himself on special teams to earn a spot in a running back room that already features Chase Brown, Samaje Perine and Tahj Brooks.

Kentrel Bullock

RB

Bullock (5-foot-10, 205 pounds) spent three seasons at Ole Miss but mostly played on special teams. He subsequently transferred to South Alabama where he played another three seasons, rounding out his collegiate career with 218 carries for 1,085 yards (5.0 YPC) and 14 touchdowns and adding 14 receptions for 53 yards and a score. He ran a 4.53 40-yard dash at his pro day. Bullock will need to make an impact on special teams to crack the Bengals' 53-man roster.

Joe Burrow

QB

Burrow was limited to eight appearances in 2025 due to a toe injury, but he's healthy at the start of team activities heading into the 2026 season and hoping to lead the Bengals back to the playoffs for the first time since the 2022 campaign. Cincinnati took steps toward accomplishing that goal by bolstering its defensive personnel in the offseason, most notably trading for star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence. Burrow still has plenty to work with on offense, with the team returning wideouts Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Andrei Iosivas, running back Chase Brown and tight end Mike Gesicki.

Josh Kattus

TE

Kattus mostly served in a blocking role during his four years at Kentucky, finishing with just 38 receptions for 505 yards and six touchdowns over 44 games. He'll need a strong offseason program to secure a spot on the 53-man roster.
