With the 49th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals took Michigan Wolverines defensive tackle Kris Jenkins.
The Bengals love drafting players who have been part of a championship culture and those with a deep family connection to the game. Jenkins checks both of those boxes and fills a need on the defensive line.
What are the Bengals getting in Jenkins?
Jenkins is an excellent defensive tackle who can play as a three-technique in the Bengal's even fronts or a five-technique in their odd fronts. He is first to the punch, getting his hands into the blocker.
