Bengals meet with one of the NFL Draft’s most athletic tight ends

It’s no secret that this year’s NFL Draft class of tight ends is strong. Around a dozen at the position could be drafted before the third round is over.

One of those dozen could be Tucker Kraft out of South Dakota State, who had himself an incredible week at the NFL combine.

Kraft blazed a 4.69 40-yard dash and leaped 10’2” in the broad jump at 254 pounds. That size and speed will get you noticed, but many NFL teams had already spoken to him before his workout.

The Cincinnati Bengals were one of those teams, per Justin Melo of The Draft Network.
