Auburn-to-Kentucky OL Vet Now Bengals Depth Guard
Tashawn Manning, a 6'4", 340-lb former Auburn Tigers starter who transferred to Kentucky as a grad senior, went undrafted in 2023 but signed with the Ravens before landing on the Bengals' roster; a versatile, battle-tested guard with 42 college games and 26 starts, he flashed athleticism with a 5.34-second 40-yard dash at the 2023 Combine, though limited NFL snaps in 2024 yield no PFF grades yet—ideal depth for teams needing reliable run-blocking intensity and SEC toughness without the prima donna vibe.
