The Cincinnati Bengals are actively pursuing running back Corey Kiner from the University of Cincinnati as the NFL draft approaches. Reports indicate that the Bengals have shown "extensive" interest in Kiner, who recently participated in a local pro day hosted by the team. Last season, Kiner demonstrated impressive stats with 1,153 rushing yards and four touchdowns, averaging 5.7 yards per carry, solidifying his potential as a late-round draft prospect for the Bengals.

With the recent addition of Samaje Perine and the existing roster including Chase Brown, the Bengals might look to secure Kiner if they decide against drafting a running back earlier. The team has raised questions about their depth at the position, especially considering the injury concerns surrounding Zack Moss. The Bengals could potentially select a running back as early as Round 2, but Kiner remains a strong local option.
