NFL Draft prospect Kaelon Black, a running back from Indiana, slept at the airport before taking an Uber from Chicago to Cincinnati for a Top 30 visit April 15 with the Bengals, according to a report via Twitter/X from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
“Traveling from Las Vegas last night after visiting the Raiders, Black’s connecting flight was canceled at Chicago O’Hare,” Pelissero tweeted. “So, he slept at the airport, and the Bengals sent an Uber to drive him early this morning to Cincinnati.”
April 15 was the deadline for Top 30 visits.
Black is projected by NFL.com as a fifth- or sixth-round pick in the upcoming draft.
Aaron Wilson reported that the Bengals were among 12 NFL teams Black visited.
