Totalling 29 tackles and two sacks last season for Auburn, you would like to see some more production (especially in the sack numbers), but the length and athleticism are what pop off the page early.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">For what it\u2019s worth, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com\/players\/2026\/keldric-faulk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NFL Mock Draft Database<\/a> has Faulk ranked 19th overall in this year\u2019s class, so he wouldn\u2019t be a massive reach just inside the top 10. Still, this feels a bit too similar to last year\u2019s selection of Shemar Stewart, who also entered the NFL with great measureables but little sack production in the SEC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It\u2019ll be interesting to see what the front office does here, but we are starting to get a clearer picture of whose name could be called at No. 10 when the NFL Draft kicks off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL Draft is quickly approaching as the Cincinnati Bengals look to make some noise in the first&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":838630,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2053],"tags":[228,227,256,39983,1561,7574,2296,7,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-838629","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cincinnati-bengals","8":"tag-bengals","9":"tag-cincinnati","10":"tag-cincinnati-bengals","11":"tag-cincinnati-bengals-draft","12":"tag-cincinnati-bengals-news","13":"tag-cincinnati-bengals-rumors","14":"tag-cincinnatibengals","15":"tag-football","16":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116305722102662164","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=838629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/838630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=838629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=838629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=838629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
