Texas tight end Jack Endries gets his call from Cincinnati

The seventh round is where the draft gets honest. Every name still on the board has something to prove, and the teams picking there know it.

Jack Endries played tight end at Texas, and when the Cincinnati Bengals reached his name in the final round of the 2026 NFL Draft, he got the call most players spend years chasing.

Seventh-round picks rarely arrive with guarantees. A roster spot has to be earned in camp, in practice, in every rep that a coach happens to be watching. That is the whole deal.

For Endries, the draft was the beginning of the conversation, not the end of it. Now comes the harder part.
