Report: Bengals Met With Ole Miss Running Back Ahead of 2023 NFL Draft

Ole Miss running back Zach Evans reportedly met with Cincinnati ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Aaron Wilson noted the meeting as the Bengals continue to carry Joe Mixon among other running backs like a newly re-signed Trayveon Williams and Chris Evans.

The talented SEC back is ranked 115th overall on the consensus big board and 10th among running backs.

Zach Evans carried the ball 144 times last season for 936 yards and 9 touchdowns. 

He missed six games with turf toe in 2020 but has otherwise avoided missing much time while staying under 290 career carries. Although, pass blocking is a question mark for the 21-year-old, coming from his roles at TCU and Ole Miss.
