How the Bengals go beyond the NFL Scouting Combine to find quality players

The Bengals have really kept their team afloat based on nailing some late-round picks over the years.

The less known aspect to their team building is how they pride themselves on bringing in players who weren’t invited to the ever popular Scouting Combine. It makes sense though that the Bengals would keep their eyes out for players who didn’t make the list.

The number of players varies by year, but they have the ability to have up to 335 total players at the Combine. There may be less draft picks than that in the draft, but it is hard to believe the Bengals could find interest in all those players.
