24. Cincinnati Bengals
Louis Nix
DT, Notre Dame
Nix had a torn meniscus last season and has recently undergone a platelet rich plasma procedure on his left knee. This may not allow him to participate at the combine; and even if he does he probably won’t be at full strength. The Bengals have just been stripped of their coordinators and will need to make a smart decision here. Though Nix’s injury will not give teams a chance to evaluate him to the T, he is still a heck of a football player and Bengals fans will learn that first hand.
