Is Jack Endries the Tight End of the Future in Cincinnati?
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Jack Endries finds himself in a favorable landing spot as he begins his pro career. Endries is a seventh-round pick out of Texas, where he caught 33 passes for 346 yards and three touchdowns in 2025. Those aren't the greatest numbers, but he gained experience against top-tier defenses in the SEC, and he also had 623 yards back at Cal in 2024. From a developmental perspective, Endries is far from a lock to produce long-term, especially with seventh-round draft capital. However, the landing spot bodes well for his outlook. His opportunity to climb up the depth chart is as good as anybody's, as the Bengals' tight end room currently features Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, Erick All (knee), Tanner Hudson, and Cam Grandy (chest). Gesicki is the No. 1 option here, but Endries could compete to be his backup early in his rookie season, with the potential to even more volume when Gesicki's contract expires after the 2027 season. Endries projects as a sixth-round pick in rookie drafts. At such a low cost, he's an intriguing draft target because of the Bengals' need for a tight end to establish themselve as a reliable threat on offense.
