We're entering the final stretch towards the 2025 NFL Draft. The Cincinnati Bengals will have six picks to use, and every one of them needs to count.

Now's the time when the Bengals and every NFL club brings in players for visits. These players could be targets in the first round, or names to know when undrafted free agency begins. A lot of i's are dotted and t's crossed this time of year. College pro days are also occurring around the country, and the Bengals will have some representation at most of them. 

Below is a list of pre-draft visits the Bengals have planned or have already conducted, as well as the pro days the club has sent representation to attend. This post will be updated over the course of the next month, so make sure to bookmark it and come back for more updates!

Players visiting the Bengals before the NFL Draft

Oklahoma State LB Nickolas Martin: One of the fastest (and smallest) linebackers in this year's class, Martin will visit the Bengals leading up to the draft. Martin is projected to go off the board late on Day 3 if he gets drafted at all.

Oregon OT Josh Conerly Jr.: The Bengals already have their starting tackles on the roster for the next couple years, but Conerly will be visiting Cincinnati with the expectation of being picked sometime in the first round or early in the second round.

Ohio State DE Jack Sawyer: You knew a Buckeye would be visiting. Sawyer is from Ohio and brings a lot of pass rushing production with him to the NFL. He'll be a local visit for the Bengals.

Minnesota OT Aireontae Ersery: A prime candidate to move inside to guard at the next level, Ersery is a likely second-round selection and possesses an elite combination of size and athleticism. The Bengals will be one of several teams he'll visit soon.

Williams & Mary OT Charles Grant: Grant hails from an FCS program, but has the size and athleticism to contribute for the Bengals' offensive line this year. Add Grant to the list of offensive linemen set to visit Cincy. 

South Carolina S Nick Emmanwori: Cincinnati will bring one of the top safety prospects in this year's draft class in for a visit. Emmanwori, who ran a 4.38 40-yard dash and leaped 43" in the vertical jump, is currently projected as a late first-round pick. 

Ole Miss DT Walter Nolen: One of the top defensive tackle prospects in this year's class will be coming to Cincinnati to chat with the club. The Bengals also met with Nolen at the NFL Scouting Combine, so there's definitely real interest here.

Ohio State DT Ty Hamilton: Considered a Day 3 pick by most analysts, Hamilton was a five-year player for the Buckeyes and confirmed his visit with the Bengals via his Instagram.

Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson: Those local visits keep on coming. Henderson was a leader for the Bucks this past season and can help keep Joe Burrow upright in the pocket with his pass-protecting skills.  

Ohio State RB Quinshon Judkins: Another Buckeye! Judkins became a National Champion after transferring to OSU last year and is one of the best running backs in this year's stack class. The Bengals are one of several teams hosting him for a visit this month. 

Tennessee DE James Pearce Jr.: Pearce is one of the best pure pass rushers in this year's draft and already met with the Bengals at the combine. He's in play at pick No. 17. 

Arizona OL Jonah Savaiinaea: The Bengals used to have a few American Samoa natives on the team several years ago. Savaiinaea, who was born there and attended high school in Hawaii, would be another likely tackle-turned-guard drafted on Day 2.

Tennessee DT Omarr Norman-Lott: A fierce interior pass rusher, Norman-Lott never became an established starter at either Arizona State or Tennessee, but his flashes on a rotational basis have the Bengals intrigued nonetheless.

Marshall S J.J. Roberts: While Roberts isn't likely to be drafted, that doesn't mean this visit is meaningless. Cincinnati could target the former Wake Forest transfer who posted two interceptions and 17 passes defensed during the last two years for Marshall.

Nebraska DT Ty Robinson: Projected to go off the board in the heart of the draft, Robinson is a nuanced interior pass rusher with ample experience. He's taking a 30 visit with the team.

Nebraska C Ben Scott: Another Cornhusker to boot. Scott was a right tackle and center for Arizona State before transferring to Nebraska to start at center. He's is a likely priority free agent target who's already met with the Bengals.

Iowa RB Kaleb Johnson: Johnson became Iowa's next productive running back in the Hawkeyes' wide zone scheme. He's from the Cincinnati area and took a local visit with the Bengals.

Ohio State OT Josh Simmons: If it weren't for a knee injury, Simmons would likely be a top-15 pick in this year's draft. He visited the Bengals this week in the case he's the best player available in the first round.

South Carolina DT T.J. Sanders: A likely Day 2 pick, Sanders brings equally great production against the run and pass from an SEC program and is still just 21 years old. He's getting a closer look from the Bengals.

Miami OL Jalen Rivers: Rivers started 31 games for the Hurricanes with 21 at left tackle and 10 at left guard. Cincinnati is showing clear interest in o-linemen who can play on the edge and inside, and Rivers is no exception.  

Toledo DT Darius Alexander: One of the oldest players in this year's draft, Alexander is refined interior pass rusher who dominated the Senior Bowl despite coming from a Group of 5 program. Cincinnati showed interest in keeping him in Ohio.

Montana State QB Tommy Mellott: Mellott may've played quarterback in college for the last four years, but he's also worked out as a wide receiver and punt returner for NFL clubs. The Bengals hosted him for a visit. 

LSU OL Emery Jones: Jones started 36 games for LSU over the past three years and was a four-star recruit as an interior lineman. He cut his teeth at right tackle and has the length to play that spot. The Bengals used a 30 visit on him according to Orlando Brown Jr. 

West Virginia OL Wyatt Milum: A four-year starter who played both right and left tackle, Milum projects as a taller guard with ample athleticism to boot. Cincinnati hosted him for a visit.
