Trayveon Williams preparing to seize his opportunity in Bengals backfield

The Cincinnati Bengals fan base was thrown into a pool of uncertainty when backup running back Samaje Perine left for a bigger role with the Denver Broncos in free agency.

Toss in the uncertainty with Joe Mixon off the field after already being a strong cap casualty candidate, and fans are left wondering who their running backs will be in 2023.

The answer may have been hidden in plain sight all along. The Bengals signed running back Trayveon Williams to a one-year, $1.2 million contract this offseason. He has spent four years with the team, recording 49 offensive touches during that period.
