The Cincinnati Bengals signed Riley Lees out of Northwestern as a UDFA and while he played wide receiver in college, he could serve as a return specialist for the Bengals, joining Brandon Wilson in the role.

Lees is probably best described as an offensive weapon rather than one single position. He played wide receiver at Northwestern, totaling 111 receptions for 1,093 yards and nine touchdowns during his four-year career with the Wildcats.
