Michael Mayer On Playing For Bengals: 'It Would Be Awesome'

Cincinnati has been linked to him in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

CINCINNATI — Former Notre Dame tight end Michael Mayer would love to play for the Cincinnati Bengals. 

The northern Kentucky native grew up a big Bengals fan and discussed how he'd like to play for the team during this week's NFL Combine.

“It would be awesome," Mayer said about playing for the Bengals. "Joe Burrow throwing me that ball? He's won a national championship. He's taken his team to the Super Bowl. I'm trying to win ball games man. ... I want to be put in a good position for sure. Have a good quarterback throwing my way. Be able to win some Super Bowls and things like that, so growing up 15 minutes from Who-Dey Stadium. It would be awesome."

The Bengals have drafted Mayer in multiple major mock drafts. He compared himself to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce during the session as well.

He told FOX19's Jeremy Rauch that the Bengals already met with him this week and that it all "went really well."

Mayer posted 67 catches, 809 yards, and 7 touchdowns in 2022.
