The Bengals just got the best center in the draft in the fourth round. What a steal.
Connor Lew missed a chunk of the 2025 season with a torn ACL, and had MCL issues prior to that. But he claims that his recovery is ahead of schedule, and the leadership qualities and skill he brings to the table make him a steal on Day 3.
Stats & Accolades
2023: (11 games played, 6 starts), SEC All-Freshman Team
2024: (12 games played, 12 starts)
2025: (7 games played, 7 starts), season-ending injury
What the Bengals are getting:
Prior to the 2025 season, Lew was widely viewed as the top center prospect at that point for the 2026 NFL Draft. He earned a starting job halfway through his true freshman season and never relinquished it. Scouts rave about his leadership and smarts for the position, something he needed to exhibit as a leader of the team in his first season on campus. Lew has the ideal combination of athleticism and strength for the position and should be viewed as a scheme-independent player.
