The New Orleans Pelicans have three players on their roster with ties to Cincinnati, and all three voiced excitement for the Bengals in a video shared by the team.
Former Xavier Musketeers standout Naji Marshall, in fact, predicted a lopsided 31-0 result Sunday in favor of the Bengals.
Former Moeller High School standout Jaxson Hayes gave his dad, long-time Bengals tight ends coach Jonathan Hayes, a shout-out in expressing his support for the Bengals.
And former Cincinnati Bearcats standout Gary Clark said he's picking the Bengals and added a "Go UC."
