Drew Sample

Drew Sample was a second-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in 2019 out of Washington, drafted for his strong blocking ability and well-rounded skill set. He has spent his entire career with the Bengals, serving as a reliable run-blocking tight end in complementary roles.

Sample's longevity with a single franchise is a testament to his reliability — the kind of player coaches trust in run-heavy personnel groupings and on early-down assignments where the emphasis is on physicality rather than receiving production.
