Bengals watch Paul McRoberts at Southeast Missouri State Pro Day

The Cincinnati Bengals finished off their Pro Day travels this week as every big college has now put their NFL talent on display.

As you can imagine, they made sure to scout schools who feature at least one NFL-caliber receiver with that still being the biggest need heading into the draft. The Bengals were among 18 teams present Thursday for the Southeast Missouri State Pro Day, which apparently was primarily for wide receiver Paul McRoberts.

While the 6'1", 203-pound McRoberts may be the only pro prospect that SEMO features, he's one that has many NFL teams intrigued heading into the draft. This past season, McRoberts caught 76 passes for 940 yards and nine touchdowns while making some spectacular catches:

In the process, McRoberts broke SEMO's all-time career record in receiving touchdowns (29) and had four 100-yard receiving games. He also finished his career with 2,435 receiving yards, the third-most in program history.

McRoberts' biggest highlight of 2015 came when he finished with a season-high 169 yards and two touchdowns on eight catches against Murray State, a game where he came in at No. 5 on ESPN SportsCenter's Top-10 plays for this catch:

McRoberts also made his debut as a punt returner this past season as he led the team with 162 yards on 14 returns and ran back one 69 yards for a score. The Bengals certainly need someone to compete with Brandon Tate for punt returner duties, so that should add value to how they view McRoberts.

After his college season ended, McRoberts was invited to the 2016 Senior Bowl. Despite facing higher-level competition, McRoberts dazzled throughout the week before having a big performance during Saturday's game:

McRoberts finished the game with four catches for 46 yards and a touchdown to go with one punt return for 27 yards and left a great impression on NFL teams. He's now projected to be a fourth or fifth-round pick that should be someone the receiver-needy Bengals look at on Day 3. That's assuming they take a receiver in the earlier rounds and look to get one more later in the draft.
