Former Cincinnati Bearcats Tight End Josh Whyle: Bengals Offense Has 'Been Hard To Miss'
CINCINNATI — Former Cincinnati Bearcats tight end Josh Whyle is glad to stay right at home in Cincinnati if it meant playing for the Bengals.
“That would be pretty cool playing 10 minutes away from home,” Whyle said at his NFL Combine press conference.
Whyle set the all-time UC tight end touchdown record this past season. He has been a strong receiver and blocker over his career at UC and would've entered last year's draft if he didn't get hurt at the end of the season.
The La Salle High School graduate has paid close attention to the Bengals' rise.
"They’ve been hard to miss," Whyle said. "I think (Cincinnati's offense) is really exciting. Joey B. (Burrow) can really sling it. It seems like they all have really good chemistry. They all really fit together well.
Checking the consensus big board, Whyle is the 129th player overall and the eighth-rated tight end. He holds a fourth-round projection and would be a nice selection at Pick 131 or 165.
Whyle fits the Bengals mold perfectly as a productive player with a strong leadership track record. He was one of five UC captains this past season.
“You’re gonna get a coachable player, a hard-working player, tough player, and a guy that really cares about the locker room. I think that’s where great success starts," Whyle declared.
