Tyler Kroft has followed the path of another former Rutgers tight end, but Bengals fans are hoping he has a better career than Marco Battaglia.
When the Bengals selected tight end Marco Battaglia in the second round in 1996, it marked the earliest draft position for a Rutgers player at the time.
Now as the director of development for athletics at his alma mater, Battaglia is pleased to see the Bengals keep the pipeline of Scarlet Knights open to Cincinnati with this year's third-round selection of tight end Tyler Kroft.
