## Resource

Late-round Bengals draft picks rarely become starters—but when they do, it’s often unforgettable. Since the draft expanded to seven rounds in 1994, just 15 players started at least one game as rookies, with 8 seeing multiple starts—sometimes due to injury or opportunity. Marquand Manuel (2002) started the most games as a rookie and later played in a Super Bowl. Others like Hakeem Adeniji, Cody Core, and Jordan Evans made impactful rookie contributions across different positions. Even before the seven-round era, legends like Lemar Parrish (11 starts) and Tom Scott (13 starts, record holder) proved late-round picks can be game-changers.
