The Cincinnati Bengals will keep it local with one of their potential undrafted free agent additions, inviting wide receiver Mac Hippenhammer to training camp.
The news of the invitation for the Miami (OH) standout comes courtesy of Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2.
Hippenhammer, 5’11” and 190 pounds, had 700-plus receiving yards in each of his last two seasons and scored 14 total touchdowns.
Pro Football Network’s Tony Pauline detailed his strengths:
Penn State transfer who turned in a pair of productive seasons at Miami. Very quick, displays proper eye/hand coordination, and consistently extends to snatch the ball out of the air. Tracks the deep pass, gets vertical, and fights to come away with the reception. Extends and exposes himself to the big hit in order to make the catch. Plays tough football. Gives effort running after the catch.
The Bengals drafted two wide receivers, but Hippenhammer will have a chance to come in and compete as the team thinks about potentially needing to replace Tyler Boyd after 2023.
