| 0:03.0 | The Cincinnati Bengals have made a selection in the |
| 0:09.0 | 2024 NFL draft alongside Locked on college football host, |
| 0:13.0 | Spencer McLaughlin. I am Teneitra Batiste, and we are joined by Jake Lisko of |
| 0:18.0 | Lock on Bengals to break down the Bengals, selecting Chris Jenkins with the |
