Round 5: Cincinnati TE Josiah Deguara
Deguara was productive for the Bearcats over the past two seasons, racking up over 70 receptions for nearly 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns. We spoke to Deguara at the combine about his fit in the NFL.
“I think I fit in pretty well,” Deguara told Chiefs Wire. “My biggest strength is my versatility whether it is playing a traditional tight end or maybe a little fullback. Teams like what I can do in that scenario too. So being able to do a lot of different things on the field, it’s definitely something that I can use to my advantage. It’s cool to see how far the [tight end position] has come in the NFL.”
That versatility makes him a big fit in the Chiefs’ offense, where he’d likely play more of an H-Back role. Deguara already looks up to and talks with Chiefs TE Travis Kelce, so working together would be a breeze.
