The Cincinnati Bengals used their sixth and final selection in the 2025 NFL Draft to grab Texas Tech running back Tahj Brooks at No. 193 overall.
Brooks is a four-year starter at Texas Tech and is the only running back in school history to post back-to-back 1,500-yard seasons. He’ll join a backfield headlined by Chase Brown in one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFL.
What he brings to the Bengals
Workhorse: Brooks is used to carrying the load for the Red Raiders, finishing his career with 22 consecutive games in which he posted 95 yards on the ground or more.
