The Green Bay Packers already have an established duo at running back in Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, but the team decided to take a flier on another by taking Lew Nichols III out of Central Michigan in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Nichols burst onto the scene as the MAC Freshman of the Year in 2020, followed by winning MAC Offensive Player of the Year the following season. Over the course of his career, he racked up over 3,000 rushing yards with 29 total touchdowns while averaging 5.0 yards per carry.
