Cincinnati Bungles: Bengals hilariously tweet incorrect photo of Tennessee’s Josh Malone

Published:
The Cincinnati Bengals selected former Tennessee receiver Josh Malone with the 128th pick in Round 4 of the 2017 NFL draft Saturday. That was good news for Tennessee, as Malone was the fourth Volunteer taken in the draft.
Sadly for the Bengals, however, their social media team must not have been familiar with what Malone looked like. Here’s their attempt to tweet out the news, instead of tweeting a picture of receiver Josh Malone, Cincinnati tweeted out a picture of 308-pound offensive lineman Jack Jones:
I'm like 80% sure that's not Josh Malone pic.twitter.com/bUQP3aCZTC

Well. That’s not Malone. That’s not even close…
Again, the man in the photo is Jack Jones, a good player in his own right, but not a receiver.

For comparison, here’s a photo of Malone:
The really head-scratching thing about this is that Jones not only looks nothing like Malone but also looks nothing like a WR.
Keep doing you, Bengals.
