Bengals draft tight end Jack Endries in seventh round

On June 21, 2026, the Cincinnati Bengals selected tight end Jack Endries from Texas in the seventh round of the NFL Draft. Endries expressed his excitement about landing with Cincinnati, identifying it as his top choice and a chance to learn under Coach James Casey. Despite falling lower than expected in the draft, he aims to develop his skills as a versatile tight end, potentially succeeding Mike Gesicki in the coming years. The tight end position has seen limited continuity for quarterback Joe Burrow, who has only had two tight ends remain with the team for more than one season.
