Arizona’s Quali Conley signs with Bengals as undrafted free agent

PHOENIX — University of Arizona running back Quali Conley is yet another Wildcat getting his NFL opportunity, signing with the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted free agent following the conclusion of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Conley transfered to Arizona from San Jose State University before the 2024-25 season. At 5-foot-10, 209 pounds, he finished last season with 150 carries for 745 total yards and eight touchdowns, adding some physical edge and steady production to the Wildcats’ backfield.

He impressed scouts with his versatility and work ethic, and his tough running style and reliable hands make him a good pick up for Cincinnati. Conley will need to compete with the Bengals sixth round pick up of Tahj Brooks for the fourth running back spot.

Conley’s signing further solidifies the astonishing weekend the Wildcats have had, with now five players earning a spot on NFL teams and chances to elevate at the next level. It will be interesting to see what he is able to produce in camp and preseason.
