Cincinnati is one season removed from a College Football Playoff appearance. While nine Bearcats went off the board in the 2022 NFL Draft, it was clear there were more to come based on the sustained success of Cincinnati last fall.
One of those talented pieces was tight end Josh Whyle, who became the third Bearcat selected in the 2023 NFL Draft — following wide receivers Tre Tucker and Tyler Scott. Whyle’s landing destination was the Tennessee Titans, which drafted the tight end as the 147th pick of the fifth round.
Whyle was a steady contributor in a Cincinnati offense which relied heavily on tight end usage in the Luke Fickell era.
