Bengals Add RB Depth: Haynes & Bullock Join Ranks

The Cincinnati Bengals have bolstered their running back corps by signing two undrafted free agents, Jamal Haynes and Kentrel Bullock. These additions signal the team's potential interest in developing talent for the practice squad or future roster spots. Haynes, originally a wide receiver at Georgia Tech, transitioned to running back, accumulating 1,059 rushing yards in 2023 and 944 in 2024, along with 21 career rushing touchdowns. He also showed receiving prowess, with 33 catches for 257 yards in his final season.

Kentrel Bullock arrives from South Alabama, where he had a standout 2025 season, rushing for 1,085 yards and 14 touchdowns on 218 carries. The year prior, he gained 831 yards. With Chase Brown, Samaje Perine, and Tahj Brooks likely securing the top three running back positions, Haynes and Bullock face an uphill battle. However, the Bengals may look to retain one or both players for their practice squad, offering them a chance to prove their worth during the offseason and training camp.
