Cincinnati Bengals rookies recently got to visit Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base near Columbus.
There, the first-year players met with Airmen of the 121st Air Refueling Wing and tour the facilities.
First-round rookie Amarius Mims, who has towered over other pros at practices already, had some issues with the flight simulator that let him emulate landing a plane.
“If you’re at the approximate height of 6’8, do not get inside a simulator,” Mims said. “I got in okay, but when it was time to get out, I struggled.”
Adam King of 10TV provided some of the footage, including the likes of rookies such as wide receiver Jermaine Burton:
"This job is way harder than any of us do, They are the reason why we can do what we do"
