FARGO-It wasn't the flash of last year's three days of the NFL Draft, but at least one North Dakota State football player is still getting a shot of reaching the next level.

Offensive lineman Landon Lechler is signing with the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted free agent, according to NDSU. None of the Bison hopefuls went in the seven rounds of the draft, which started Thursday and ended Saturday in Philadelphia.

It was a year ago when quarterback Carson Wentz was the No. 2 overall draft pick of the Philadelphia Eagles.

The 6-foot-7, 298-pound Lechler, from Beach, N.D., was a three-year starter for the Bison at right tackle.
