Who is Mitchell Tinsley? Bengals' WR makes insane one-handed snag for first NFL catch

For at least a moment, the Cincinnati Bengals had something to smile about.

Joe Burrow was still out of the game injured, but there was a highlight on the perimeter to tie their Week 2 game with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

It was Jake Browning making the throw down the right sideline.

And the man catching it? Mitchell Tinsley, his first NFL catch, an absurd touchdown grab.

Who is Mitchell Tinsley?

Mitchell Tinsley is a 25-year old wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals who is in his third season out of college.

He only played one season of football at Lee's Summit High School in Missouri.

From there, he went to Hutchinson Community College. That earned him a move up to Western Kentucky, and then to Penn State.

Tinsley signed with the Commanders out of college as an undrafted free agent and spent two seasons there.

He came to Cincinnati this offseason, and he got a chance on the active roster for Week 2.

And given the catch Tinsley just made, he might get another chance sometime, too.
