The Cincinnati Bengals hosted a workout for local prospects on Tuesday, and former Highlands star and Kentucky starting quarterback Patrick Towles was on the premises.

Towles, who spent last season leading Boston College to a 7-6 record and victory over Maryland in the Quick Lane Bowl, didn't just show off his arm, either.

At 6-foot-5 and over 250 pounds, Towles has the prototypical size and athleticism to play tight end, a position a segment of the Kentucky fanbase would have liked to see Towles play while in blue and white. After the workout, Towles spoke with KSTV about trying out for the team he's cheered for his whole life and potentially changing positions to make it in the NFL.

According to CBS Sports, Towles is slated as the No. 25 quarterback in the 2017 NFL Draft.
