Bengals Take Chase Brown in Fifth Round of 2023 NFL Draft

Cincinnati has taken two offensive players on Saturday.

CINCINNATI — The Bengals took Illinois running back Chase Brown in the fifth-round (163rd overall) in the 2023 NFL Draft. 

Brown ran for 1,643 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. He also had 27 receptions for 240 yards and three scores. 

The 23-year-old is 5-9, 209 pounds. He ran a 4.43 40-yard dash and tested like an elite athlete during the pre-draft process.

"Brown has mediocre run strength and must continue to prove himself as a blocker, but his ability to pair his quick-scan vision with his controlled footwork should translate well to the next level," The Athletic's Dane Brugler wrote. "He projects as an NFL rotational back who will be ready when/if a starting opportunity arises."

Brown joins a backfield that includes Joe Mixon and Trayveon Williams. 

Cincinnati already added wide receiver Charlie Jones in the fourth round on Saturday after taking three defensive players on the first two days of the draft.
