Every prospect drafted in an NFL draft tends to have a funny story about the journey.
But only new Cincinnati Bengals safety Daxton Hill apparently needed to “zip up” so he could take the call from his new team that wanted to actually make him the pick.
Speaking with reporters after the Bengals made him the 31st pick in the opening round of the 2022 NFL draft, the Michigan standout said he had been advised to not take a bathroom break near the end of the first round — but did so anyway.
As ESPN’s Ben Baby captured, Hill was able to address the predicament quickly and get on the phone with the Bengals:
Dax Hill was told not to go to the bathroom in case the phone called. Sure enough, the Bengals dialed in. Said he was able to "zip up" in time to take the call.
