Former Georgia Bulldog running back signs with Bengals' practice squad
Former Georgia Bulldog Kendall Milton was a victim of final NFL roster cuts, but the two-time national champion has latched onto another team relatively quickly. He signed with the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad.
He didn't receive a phone call during the 2024 NFL draft, but he did get one from the Philadelphia Eagles afterward to sign a rather lucrative contract as an undrafted free agent for the squad. On a team full of several Bulldogs, it looked like Milton would be a critical part of the culture on this team.
Unfortunately, with Saquon Barkley and Kenneth Gainwell already solidified as the first two backs, it was an uphill battle for Milton. He lost the third running back spot to former Clemson running back Will Shipley.
Now with Cincinnati, a team that has more unproven running backs, Chase Brown and Zach Moss, Milton could see himself making his NFL debut if injuries strike Brown or Moss. His style of downhill running would be super effective in goal-line chances, and with a line featuring first-round pick Amarius Mims, also a former Bulldog, UGA fans are very excited for that prospect.
