Cincinnati Bengals quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese worked out Abilene Christian quarterback Billy Don Malone this week, according to Adam Caplan of Scout.com.
A 26-year-old Division II star, Malone passed for 34 touchdowns and 2,944 yards last season. He only threw six interceptions.
Malone began his collegiate career at Tulane in 2002 as a blue-chip recruit who turned down offers from Texas, Tennessee and LSU.
According to a New York Times article, Malone had issues at Tulane, including a heart problem, a marijuana habit and a low grade point average.
Since leaving Tulane, Malone has found religion, gotten married and is the father of two children.
At 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, Malone has ideal pro size and a strong arm.

I think he could be an interesting pickup later in the draft.

I watched Malone play in person twice last year.
He has a lot of physical skills, but folds under pressure. Well, he only faced pressure in exactly one game last season, anyway, and he folded.
