Myers' story is incredible.
He went to a couple of low-level college programs.
The only taste of the NFL he ever had was in a mini camp trial with the Atlanta Falcons a handful of years ago, and then he took his time in trying to build his way up through the CFL.
He had a couple of really good seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, not only productive as a receiver, but also a return man.
The Bengals executive scouting director, Andrew Johnson, who's responsible for the other pro leagues that aren't the NFL, you know, he noticed Myers.
He got a lot of good intel from him in the scouting report, and they signed him all the way back in January right after the regular season ended.
He's on the smaller side.
He's about 5'11", 185 pounds.
He looks like a slot receiver out there, but he's definitely shifting.
I think he's a little bit stronger than what people give him credit for, for his size.
And after two weeks of camp, he's proving Johnson's scouting report pretty correctly.
He's just making play after play.
He keeps showing up.
He keeps drawing rave reviews from his teammates.
The guy from the CFL, not even a rookie anymore, like, he's turning heads.
And it really does feel like every year we see a receiver rise from the previously unknown on the Bengals depth chart.
Last year it was Mitchell Tinsley.
A couple years ago it was Kendrick Pryor.
You know, Damian Willis, Dane Sanzenbacher, Jay Kumor for the longtime fans out there.
It seems like every year there's a receiver on the Bengals who really makes a name for himself in the preseason.
