For you old-timers, I haven't really heard of somebody described as a "bowling ball" since the great "Human Bowling Ball" Robert Newhouse of the Dallas Cowboys in the '70's.
That guy was a really good player. Same build - short, squat, huge thighs - and defenders would for real bounce off him. It was fun to watch - that was before I detested the Cowboys.
Maybe this kid will surprise us.

Oh, I don't know. I've heard a few RBs described as a "bowling ball of knives" in the last 10-15 years.Originally Posted by Fritz
I saw some calling him 'fit Eddie Lacy' and nonsense like that, I think he has some traits they could develop and he's nice depth/competition.
RBs can be found lots of places if you have a good OL and scheme. He's got some wear on the tires already.
He'll probably be entertaining in preseason. Nichols is better than Marc Tyler, John Crockett, or Devante Mays.
He was the MAC Offensive Player of the Year in 2021, leading the FBS with 341 carries for 1,848 yards
