Bengals to host Central Michigan RB Lew Nichols III on draft visit

The Cincinnati Bengals will meet with one of the most productive runners in college football of the last few years.

According to Dave Birkett, the Bengals will host Central Michigan’s Lew Nichols III on a visit soon.

In 2021, Nichols led the NCAA in rushing with 1,848 yards and 16 touchdowns on a 5.4 average and caught 40 passes for good measure, too.

Nichols didn’t get as many chances in 2022, but it’s not hard to see why the Bengals like nearly everything about his game, especially if he comes off the board in the mid-rounds.

While Nichols doesn’t feel as versatile as some of the other prospects the Bengals have been linked to during this draft process, there’s no doubt his productivity will have him in the conversation if the team hasn’t added a back over the first two or three rounds.
