TOLEDO, Ohio – University of Toledo safety Tycen Anderson and cornerback Samuel Womack were both selected in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft on Saturday.
Anderson was chosen by the AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals as the 166th overall pick of the draft. Womack was taken by San Francisco just six picks later as the 172nd pick.
Both players were beyond excited when they first heard the news.
"My stomach just dropped. I was hoping that was the real number that came up on the caller ID on my phone," said Anderson, who was joined by almost 100 family and friends at his home in Toledo.
