Tyler Eifert

Tyler Eifert won the 2012 John Mackey Award as the nation’s top Tight End, so it was expected that he would be the first of his position taken in the following draft, which he was when he was drafted 21st overall by the Cincinnati Bengals.

Eifert had a good run with the Bengals, playing seven years there, peaking with a 13-touchdown/615-yard season in 2015, when he was named to the Pro Bowl. He struggled to remain healthy through most of his career, as in three of his seasons in Cincinnati he played in four Games or less. Eifert closed his career with a year in Jacksonville and accumulated 2,501 Yards and 26 Touchdowns.
