56. . Running Back. Texas A&M. Trayveon Williams. 5. player

One of the biggest steals of the draft was easily Trayveon Williams. The SEC leading rusher was a consensus third or early fourth rounder, but that wasn’t the case as he fell to the sixth round and landed into the lap of the Cincinnati Bengals.

I was shocked that he fell that far and that the likes of Benny Snell went ahead of him when Trayveon Williams won the head to head match up and showed season in and season out that he was better than the Kentucky running back, but that is neither here nor there.

Cincinnati has two big running backs right now in Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard. It is unlikely that Williams beats one of them out, so if he makes the team he will see limited snaps and the majority of those snaps may be on special teams. The most important thing Williams can do though is to bulk himself up and get ready for when one of those guys departs for free agency at some point in the coming years.
