While Orlando Brown may have made a good impression with the Cincinnati Bengals on his way to signing a four-year, $64 million contract this offseason, the star offensive lineman admits that he bungled part of his pre-draft interview with the club coming out of Oklahoma.

At his introductory press conference on Friday, Brown revealed that he still remembers one specific question asked to him by then-Cincinnati head coach Marvin Lewis.

That question: What is the capital of Spain? Suffice it to say, the big man's answer wouldn't pass muster on 'Jeopardy!'.

The highlight of Orlando Brown Jr's media availability:

During the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine, then-head coach Marvin Lewis asked Brown if he knew what the capital of Spain was.

He said "Portugal."

Doesn't look like he'll be getting any more questions about geography in Cincy

Despite tagging "Portugal" as the capital of Spain -- the correct answer is Madrid -- Brown says he still crushed the interview on the whole. All's well that end's well.

Fortunately for the tackle, the Bengals only expect him to protect franchise quarterback Joe Burrow and open up running lanes. There will be no geography questions on the docket upcoming.
