The Cincinnati Bengals are looking close to home for potential talent, inviting several local prospects to their annual pro day workout at Paycor Stadium on April 14th. The list carries a notable family legacy, featuring the sons of two former Bengals players.

Headlining the local invitees is quarterback Jalen Kitna, the son of former Bengals QB and current Lakota East High School head coach, Jon Kitna. Jalen played his college ball at UAB. He is joined by wide receiver Rodney Heath Jr., whose father, Rodney Heath Sr., was a defensive back for the Bengals.

These pro day workouts are a crucial opportunity for players on the draft bubble or seeking free-agent contracts to showcase their skills directly for team scouts and coaches. For the Bengals, it's a chance to evaluate hometown talent and familiar bloodlines up close.

The full list of local players invited to showcase their skills includes wide receiver Rodney Heath Jr. (Louisiana Tech; Lakota East), quarterback Jalen Kitna (UAB), long snapper Colton Peoples (Washington State; Campbell County), and quarterback Matthew Rueve (Indiana University of Pennsylvania; St. Xavier).
