Seth McLaughlin, an undrafted free agent from Ohio State, chose the Cincinnati Bengals primarily due to the team's offensive scheme and their status as Super Bowl contenders. Recovering from a torn Achilles sustained last winter, McLaughlin shared an optimistic injury update at rookie minicamp, indicating he anticipates being cleared for practice this summer. Despite the potential for a redshirt year to fully recover, he expresses confidence in competing for a roster spot in the future.
