Rookie Profile: Erick All, Tight End, Cincinnati Bengals
Welcome to the Rookie Profile: Erick All, a three-star prospect from Fairfield High School in Fairfield, Ohio. After high school, All committed to the University of Michigan, becoming a Wolverine.
As a tight end at Michigan, All failed to find the field until his junior season. However, it didn’t translate to much success in terms of production. Unfortunately, he saw little playing time in his senior season, so he transferred to Iowa to take advantage of one more year of eligibility.
At Iowa, All didn’t accomplish much more than he had at Michigan. His numbers were uninspiring overall, but he was putting up a decent season before tearing his ACL in mid-October of 2023. Had he remained healthy, All likely would have posted career numbers and been more than a dart-throw option at the position this April.
Measurables
Draft Capital & Landing Spot
Draft Capital- Round 4, 115th Overall
- Sixth off the board at the position is notable. Fourth-round draft capital is hard to ignore. All has a chance to become the Bengals TE of the future, even if that chance isn’t anywhere near a certainty.
Landing Spot- Cincinnati Bengals
- There are a lot of bodies in Cincy’s TE room, but few if any have the upside possessed by All. He has a chance to grow into a sizeable receiving role if he can develop quickly and hold off fellow rookie Tanner McLachlan.

Fantasy Impact
I love All’s value in dynasty rookie drafts. He’s largely free in the last round or off of waivers and the perfect type of player to stash.
Given his collegiate promise and injury, he could be a tremendous value in reality and in fantasy. I’m stashing him in TE premium leagues where I can.
