We all have a nightmare travel story.
Kaelon Black’s just happened to occur during the biggest week of his life.
Former Indiana RB Kaelon Black had 12 pre-draft visits — and the last one was a doozy.
Traveling from Las Vegas last night after visiting the Raiders, Black’s connecting flight was canceled at Chicago O’Hare. So, he slept at the airport, and the Bengals sent an Uber to drive him… pic.twitter.com/NwIHzG4bUh

After sleeping at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, one of the busiest travel hubs in the country, Black needed to hop in an Uber to make his way to Cincinnati after his flight was canceled for his final meeting with NFL teams.
It was a long ride.

What kind of tip do you think the Bengals gave the Uber driver?

Black, who’s expected to be a day 3 pick, has shown his commitment to the Bengals by taking a nearly five-hour Uber ride to the facility.
Will they reward his dedication?
I know KB didn’t complain one bit! Just like he never has, that why whoever drafts him is getting a steal!! #HooHooHooHoosiers https://t.co/hq7eJQcsoS
