The Cincinnati Bengals selected former UB tight end Mason Schreck in the seventh round of the NFL Draft on Saturday.
Schreck was prepared to sign an undrafted free agent contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Cincinnati.com, but was selected by the Bengals with the third to last pick in the draft.
Schreck excelled in his senior season, catching 59 passes for 651 yards and four touchdowns.
Former UB running back Jordan Johnson signed an undrafted free agent contract with the hometown Buffalo Bills right after the draft.
Johnson had 1,040 yards rushing on 200 carries this past season.
