Bengals attended Northwestern Pro Day

Center Brandon Vitabile and strong safety Ibraheim Campbell are the Wildcats' most notable prospects for this year's NFL draft.

The Cincinnati Bengals were one of 29 teams in attendance at Northwestern Pro Day this past week.

Though the Wildcats don't feature many big-name prospects, they do have several guys to watch in the latter rounds and as priority free agents. Their best prospect is probably Ibraheim Campbell, a 5-11, 208-pound strong safety who actually didn't work out at the Pro Day due to a hamstring injury.

At the NFL Scouting combine, Campbell led all safeties with 23 reps in the bench press and was second among all defensive backs. He's projected as a third-round prospect by CBS Sports.

Center Brandon Vitabile is another guy to watch. The 6-3, 310-pounder started all 50 games of his Northwestern career, and was an Honorable Mention All-Big Ten honoree for the second straight year this past season. He's projected as a seventh-round prospect.

Here's a list of Northwestern's draft-eligible prospects, via CBS Sports:
