The Cincinnati Bengals are giving a local college star a chance.

Mac Hippenhammer, a wide receiver out of Miami University, was signed by the Bengals as an undrafted free agent.

Laurel Pfahler of the Dayton Daily News wrote that Hippenhammer got signed after a rookie minicamp tryout on May 12 and he is very excited for the opportunity.

In his last season at Miami, Hippenhammer had 54 catches for 768 yards and nine touchdowns totaling 1,632 yards in 26 games in his time with the RedHawks.

“I’m not really like too flashy because I kind of just stay at one level but I’d like to think it looks good,” Hippenhammer said. “Consistency. … I pride my game on being quick and I think this is a great league to exploit those talents.”

Bengals invite UDFA Mac Hippenhammer to rookie minicamp

More undrafted free agency news for the Bengals, this time with WR Mac Hippenhammer.

The Cincinnati Bengals will keep it local with one of their potential undrafted free agent additions, inviting wide receiver Mac Hippenhammer to training camp.

The news of the invitation for the Miami (OH) standout comes courtesy of Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2.

Hippenhammer, 5’11” and 190 pounds, had 700-plus receiving yards in each of his last two seasons and scored 14 total touchdowns.

Pro Football Network’s Tony Pauline detailed his strengths:

Penn State transfer who turned in a pair of productive seasons at Miami. Very quick, displays proper eye/hand coordination, and consistently extends to snatch the ball out of the air. Tracks the deep pass, gets vertical, and fights to come away with the reception. Extends and exposes himself to the big hit in order to make the catch. Plays tough football. Gives effort running after the catch.

The Bengals drafted two wide receivers, but Hippenhammer will have a chance to come in and compete as the team thinks about potentially needing to replace Tyler Boyd after 2023.
