Justin Rigg won’t be far from Lexington to begin his pro career.
Not long after the 2022 NFL Draft came to a conclusion on Saturday afternoon, the former Kentucky tight end announced that he has signed an undrafted free agent contract with the Cincinnati Bengals. Rigg previously met with the Bengals during a pre-draft workout not even two weeks ago.
The class of 2016 signee played in a school-record 63 games in his six-year career with the Kentucky football program, starting 35 games including the last 16 of his career.
