Could former Xavier player reach the NFL?

Xavier guard Remy Abell recently finished his collegiate basketball career and is about to graduate with a degree in sport management, so it’s only logical that his next step would be trying out for the Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium.

Say what?

“It’s crazy,” Abell said before a Thursday training session at Ignition Athletic Performance Group in Mason. “I’m trying to write my own story, and this is something different. When I told my family, they were like, ‘Go for it.’ Obviously, they knew I loved football. Football really was my first love.”

Abell is among numerous prospects who will work out for the Bengals.
