CINCINNATI — The Bengals took TCU cornerback Josh Newton in the fifth round (149th overall) of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Newton, 23, is 5-10, 192 pounds. He had 152 tackles, 40 passes defensed and seven interceptions in 61 career games. He spent his final two seasons at TCU.

Former NFL cornerback Will Blackmon called Newton the steal of the draft.

The Bengals like his versatility and physicality. Check out Blackmon's post about Newton below:

Ok everyone is asking for my steal of the 2024 draft.
This one is tough because this is such a deep draft of talent. Some guys could have went higher last year or even next year.

But for the people, It will be this guy. @BumpnRunFig #bengals
