The Cincinnati Bengals announced last week they have signed rookie CB Abu Daramy-Swaray, who took part in rookie camp on a tryout basis.

It’s always a good story when a player doesn’t even hear his name called as an undrafted free agent get a shot in rookie camp and earn a spot on the offseason roster and a chance at training camp, especially after a few years.

Daramy-Swaray, a former Colgate product, spent 2021 with the Potsdam Royals of the German Football League, playing 12 games and recording 39 tackles, two interceptions and nine passes defended.

In four seasons at Colgate, Daramy-Swaray picked off five passes and had 25 career pass interceptions.

Daramy-Swaray is considered an NFL rookie since this is his first NFL contract.
