A Proud Weekend for the Bearcats at the NFL Draft

What a proud weekend for the Cincinnati Bearcats.

Four Bearcats were selected in the 2021 NFL Draft—all of whom have a great shot not only to make their respective clubs but also a chance to find some significant playing time.

In the 4th round, the Cleveland Browns selected resolute Bearcats offensive lineman James Hudson, whose story of perseverance was told to the nation on ESPN’s draft broadcast. Hudson helps the Browns solidify an offensive line that has improved significantly in the last two seasons.

In the 5th round, the defensively deficient Washington Football Team selected Darrick Forest, adding some robustness to their pass defense as well as a legitimate hitter who can contribute to their run defense.
