4 former Bengals draft picks who may be done in the NFL
1. Mohamed Sanu
Third-round pick in 2012
Mohamed Sanu was nothing but pure excitement as a Cincinnati Bengal. Whether it was hauling in touchdowns from Andy Dalton, throwing trick-play touchdowns to A.J. Green, or taking snaps as the wildcat quarterback, Sanu is a name that brings smiles to Bengals fans.

Sanu spent the first four seasons of his career in Cincinnati before heading to Atlanta in free agency. Sanu was a solid second option for Matt Ryan and the Falcons, a team extremely close to winning a Super Bowl in 2017.
Sanu was traded to the New England Patriots for a second-round pick in the 2019 season. The Patriots were in dire need of a receiver, so the fact that the Falcons could get a second-round pick in return was a win for them. After finishing the season with the Patriots, Sanu spent time with the Lions and 49ers.
Currently a free agent, Sanu’s best chance at landing on an NFL roster would likely be with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa will be without Chris Godwin for a portion of the season, and Sanu has experience with Tom Brady.
