CINCINNATI — The Bengals attended Marshall's pro day on Monday, which included impressive performances by two possible draft targets.

Star edge rusher Mike Green ran the 3-cone drill in 6.85-seconds (95th percentile), which would've been first among defensive ends at the 2025 NFL Combine last month. He also ran a 4.25-second 20-yard shuttle (84th percentile), which would've been second among defensive ends at the combine.

Green isn't the only pro prospect the Bengals took a closer look at on Monday. They also talked with safety J.J. Roberts. He ran a 4.41-second 40-yard dash, which included a 1.46-second 10-yard split. He also had a 40.5-inch vertical leap and ran the 3-cone drill in 6.76-seconds.

The Bengals would have to take Green with the No. 17 overall pick if they want him in Cincinnati. Meanwhile, Roberts is hoping to be a day 3 pick.

Check out the numbers and watch some highlights from the pro day below:
