WATCH: Lifelong Bengals fan Michael Jordan gets a draft call from his favorite team

The Cincinnati Bengals made Ohio State offensive lineman Michael Jordan the 136th pick in the 2019 NFL draft.

And considering Jordan grew up a Bengals fan, it was something he had always dreamed about, as he told Fox 19’s Jeremy Rauch: “Its been a dream of mine to play for the Cincinnati #Bengals since I was a kid.”

The Bengals made a trade up to get Jordan too, knowing the 6’6″ and 312-pound tackle could come in and potentially start right away as a guard.

Jordan looked great at guard in college, which happens to be one of the problem areas in Cincinnati.

For Jordan, the fact the Bengals traded up to make sure they got him had to make the moment even sweeter.
