Bengals select Texas A&M RB Trayveon Williams in sixth round

The Cincinnati Bengals used one of three scheduled sixth-round picks in the 2019 NFL draft to select Texas A&M’s Trayveon Williams.

Running back was always on the menu for the Bengals after Zac Taylor and Co. decided to cut Mark Walton. Willaims is an interesting one at 5’8″ and 206 pounds coming off a combine performance in which he ran 4.51-second time in the 40-yard dash.

Williams rushed for 1,760 yards and 18 touchdowns last year on a 6.5 per-carry average and will reunite with offensive line coach Jim Turner in Cincinnati.

It’s a great value for the Bengals late in the process as Williams has a good shot at making the final roster and occasionally cracking the rotation.
