Trey Hopkins’ Emergence Would Give Bengals Options
The Bengals have built quite the reputation for finding talent where few others can. In the chaos that follows each draft, they’ve been successful in identifying and signing undrafted college free agents who eventually prove to be effective NFL players. In 2012, they found Vontaze Burfict and Emmanuel Lamur and in 2013 Cincinnati acquired Jayson DiManche.
This trend continued in 2014 when the Bengals signed Ryan Hewitt, yet the fullback extraordinaire wasn’t the only player who looked like he’d make the team. Prior to Hewitt’s emergence, guard Trey Hopkins was headlining the team’s 2014 UDFA class. He performed so well that it looked like he was going to earn a roster spot.
