Bengals send Uber to drive draft prospect Kaelon Black from Chicago

NFL Network reported draft prospect and RB Kaelon Black slept at the airport before Ubering from Chicago to Cincinnati for a visit with the Bengals.

The NFL Draft process is a whirlwind for prospects, but running back Kaelon Black's journey to a Cincinnati Bengals visit took an unexpected turn. According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, after a visit with the Las Vegas Raiders, Black's connecting flight was canceled at Chicago O'Hare, leaving him stranded.

Faced with the prospect of missing a crucial "Top 30" visit, Black spent the night at the airport. Demonstrating quick thinking and a commitment to their prospect, the Bengals organization stepped in with a modern solution: they sent an Uber to drive him the nearly 300 miles from Chicago to Cincinnati early the next morning.

Black, a running back from Indiana projected as a fifth- or sixth-round pick, has been busy, with the Bengals reportedly being one of a dozen teams he has visited. This kind of dedication and adaptability is a hallmark of players looking to make their mark, showcasing the relentless hustle required to succeed at the next level.
