A fourth-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft by
Cincinnati, Walton was released last month by the Bengals
following his third arrest in 2019.
"I'm trying to leave an impression on the coaches. I'm trying to
leave a lasting mark on them," Walton told the South Florida
Sun-Sentinel during his weekend tryout. "I can't really say too
much about the other stuff (off) the field. But I know what I
got to do while I'm here. That's all I can talk about right
now."
Walton appeared in 14 games for Cincinnati as a 2018 rookie,
rushing 14 times for 34 yards and catching five passes for 41
yards.
