And the Bengals' national tour of University Pro Day visits continues. Today we've told you all that they've attended the Ohio State University Pro Day, the Ole Miss Pro Day and the Furman University Pro Day. We didn't know if Bengals offensive coordinator was at any of these workouts, until now. Gruden was seen at Florida International University's Pro Day today, according to Pete Pelegrin, an FIU sportswriter.



Gruden was on hand likely to see the speedy wide receiver, T.Y. Hilton. According to reports, Hilton ran the 40-yard dash twice, with official times of 4.36 and 4.34. He was also pretty impressive in his individual drills catching the football and running routes.

Hilton was invited to the Combine, but couldn't run because of a sustained quadricep injury. He had an impressive 2011 campaign with 72 receptions, 1038 yards and seven touchdowns. As a freshman in 2008, Hilton recorded a whopping 24.7 yards per reception average and put up another 1000-yard season. Hilton also made a major impact on the special teams game, recording a 97-yard punt return touchdown, and four other 90-plus yard kickoff return touchdowns. He isn't an imposing specimen at only 5'10", 183 pounds, but he could be a speedy deep threat that a team needs.

Here's where all of our fans remind us that we don't need a deep threat because we won't throw it deep.

The Bengals don't value players that can make "the big play"

someone else will draft him way ahead of where we rank him. The Bengals have one roll, develop players so that they can play somewhere else when their contract is over.
