Scharping, a fifth-year player out of Northern Illinois University, originally was a second-round pick of the Houston Texans in 2019. He spent his first three seasons (2019-21) with Houston before being acquired by Cincinnati on waivers prior to the '22 season. Scharping played in 14 regular-season games for the Bengals, then started each of the team's three postseason contests at RG.
