The Cincinnati Bengals will hold their opening meeting of rookie minicamp tonight and Kalafitoni Polè will be in the room.

The former Washington State defensive tackle went undrafted, but still has a shot to make an NFL team. Rookie minicamp is the first step and, while the focus will be on the drafted players, if Polè can impress the coaches, perhaps he can score an invite to training camp in the fall.

Quarterback Connor Halliday will be hoping for the same thing for himself at Washington's training camp next week.
