The Cincinnati Bengals held a workout with Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner last week, according to Wolverines' beat writer Nick Baumgardner with MLive.com. Atlanta also held a workout with the prospect, who has also scheduled workouts with the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs.
It's probably more appropriate to call Gardner a wide receiver at this point. He's listed at receiver for the 2015 NFL draft and played that position during the Shrine Game earlier this year.
"My dream is to play football in the NFL, so that's what I'm going to do," Gardner said via the Detroit Free Press. "If a team wants me to play quarterback, I'll play quarterback. If you want me to be a scout-team quarterback when I'm a receiver, I'll do that. I'm pretty sure it's openly known that I'll do whatever it takes to help the team."
He ran a 4.59 at Michigan's pro day earlier this month, catching passes alongside Devin Funchess from former Arkansas quarterback Travis Wilson. And, currently, he's spending a great deal of time at Michigan working with current team staffer Erik Campbell -- a former longtime Michigan wide receivers coach who mentored numerous great Wolverine pass catchers, including Braylon Edwards, Jason Avant, Mario Manningham, Tai Streets and many more.
