The Cincinnati Bengals selected Michigan defensive tackle Kris Jenkins with the 49th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Jenkins, known for his strong run defense, was highly ranked on various scouting lists, including being No. 6 on the Freaks List, and praised for his physical abilities, including an 87.2 run defense grade since 2022, making him fifth among Power Five DTs. His selection adds significant depth and a big-time culture add to the Bengals' defensive line, complementing players like Hill and Rankins. Jenkins, described as a 'mutant' for his extraordinary strength demonstrated by a 170-pound dumbbell lift, is also noted for his NFL lineage, being the son of a four-time Pro Bowler.

Kris Jenkins is my DL4. Strong at the POA. Great lower leg drive to get into the backfield. Great anchor and won’t get moved back. Not overly flashy. Won’t be a super productive player. Often misses when shooting the gap. #Bengals get a solid DL base #HallamAnalysis
