Cincinnati Bearcats make program history in 2022 NFL Draft with seven players picked
The University of Cincinnati Bearcats made program history this weekend by surpassing their previous record of having six players selected in the National Football League Draft.
When the Seattle Seahawks selected cornerback Coby Bryant, the 2021 Jim Thorpe Award winner, in the fourth round, it tied the previous record of six draftees. That mark was established by the 2009 squad.
Running back Jerome Ford, selected by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round became the seventh Bearcat drafted. The pick came with more than two rounds remaining in the draft and the opportunity for more than 10 Bearcats to hear their name called Saturday.
