The Cincinnati Bengals will hold their pro day for local NFL draft prospects on Tuesday and six of Ohio State’s 2023 NFL draft hopefuls will be among those in attendance.
Defensive tackles Jerron Cage and Taron Vincent, linebacker Palaie Gaoteote, safeties Ronnie Hickman and Tanner McCalister and long snapper Bradley Robinson will all be in Cincinnati on Tuesday to participate in the workout, which is open to NFL draft prospects who either played for nearby colleges or grew up in the Cincinnati area.

Hickman is the only one of those players who is widely projected to be selected in this year’s draft, and he did not work out at either the NFL Scouting Combine or Ohio State’s pro day due to injury. The other players making the trip to Cincinnati are hoping to either be selected in the late rounds or get picked up as undrafted free agents.
The Bengals have already hosted two other Buckeyes, offensive tackle Dawand Jones (a projected first- or second-round pick) and cornerback Cameron Brown (a projected late-round pick or undrafted free agent), for pre-draft visits.
