Nobody wanted to spend a supplemental draft pick on LaKendrick Ross, but the Bengals didn’t wait long to give him a shot.
The Bengals announced Monday they had signed Ross, waiving wide receiver Alex Neutz to clear the roster spot.
The 6-foot-4, 350-pound Ross played one year of college football at Virginia-Lynchburg.
Eleven teams attended his pro day workout prior to the supplemental draft, but he wasn’t chosen.
At a time when rosters are at 90, it’s worth taking a flyer on someone with that kind of size.
