IOWA CITY, Iowa – Former Iowa tight end Erick All will return to his home state to launch his NFL career.

All, a native of Fairfield, Ohio, was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the fourth round of the NFL draft on Saturday, and with the 115th pick overall.

All led Iowa with 299 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns last season despite suffering a season-ending leg injury in the seventh game against Wisconsin. He also had 21 receptions to rank fourth on the team.

All is the second Iowa player to be selected in the 2024 NFL draft, joining defensive back Cooper DeJean, who was picked in the second round, and 40th overall, by the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday.

All is also the 87th Iowa player to taken in the draft under Kirk Ferentz.

All transferred to Iowa from Michigan prior to the 2023 season, along with quarterback Cade McNamara, who also suffered a season-ending injury last season.

All played a key role for Michigan’s 2021 Big Ten championship team as he finished with more than 400 receiving yards.

All is the 13th Iowa tight end to be selected in the NFL Draft under Kirk Ferentz, and the fifth since 2017.

George Kittle was selected by San Francisco in 2017, followed by T.J. Hockenson and Noah Fant in 2019 and Sam LaPorta in 2023.

Hockenson and Fant were both picked in the first round by Detroit and Denver, respectively, while LaPorta was picked by Detroit in the second round.
