Bengals Draft Connor Lew: Brains & Brawn

0:00On April 27th, the Cincinnati Bengals kept building their line on day 3 of the NFL draft, grabbing Auburn Center Connor Liu at pick number 1, 128 in the fourth round. Loose that out is one of the top interior linemen coming in, but a torn ACL back in October dropped him way down the board from French first round talk, to still available late on day 3. Earlier this week, the Bengals cut ties with their 2024 7th round center Matt Lee, so folks figured they'd hunt for a young guy too. Develop at the position, Liu brings brains to the game. He studied aviation in college and solid technique at 6 with 3, 310 pounds, even if his strength. Get some side eye? He held it down for the Tigers. Officials say his knees healing up nicely after their checks, so fingers crossed he's good to roll into training camp and lock down that future spot.
