The Bengals worked out undrafted rookie quarterback Peyton Ramsey on Thursday, according to Eric Edholm of Yahoo Sports (Twitter link). Many thought Ramsey would hear his name called last month, but there were surprisingly few QBs taken in the later rounds of the draft.
Ramsey played the bulk of his football at Indiana and captured the starting job in 2018. In 2019, he completed 68% of his throws for 2,454 yards, 13 touchdowns and five interceptions. Then, he moved on to Northwestern and helped the program throttle Auburn in the Citrus Bowl. He wasn’t as accurate with the Wildcats (61% completion rate) but still managed to keep himself on the pro radar.
As it stands, the Bengals have a full house under center. Their QB room currently features starter Joe Burrow plus Brandon Allen, Kyle Shurmur, Collin Hill, and Eric Dungey.
As an IU fan, anyone who thinks Ramsey has the arm to be an NFL QB is on drugs. Haha
Also as an IU fan, and someone who is not especially high on Ramsey as a QB, I think I’d trust the NFL execs to evaluate him over your assessment.
Cool story bro
You literally just said you’ve watched him and agree that he isn’t good. Holy L
I could see the Bengals sign him as he’s a local guy as he attended and plAyed football for Elder High School in Cincinnati.
He’s got intangibles. But, not sure about his accuracy. Might keep him as a practice squad/3rd stringer.
Hey, better than me.
You guys Know abt Shurmer, then? He’s A Coach’s kid.
