Yea a nice find by Pace. He kind of has Aaron Donald like elusiveness. I need to see him play some more snaps.

I listened to that play in my car while I picked up my daughter. Holy shit that was great
Even though I was kidding, I stepped over the line

Nichols didn't get much praise during the offseason after being picked...
The man is a show stopping future starter in this league
5th Round: Bilal Nichols
Rather than go through his 2017 film, I’ll leave you with this nugget from Mike Mayock...

Basically, Nichols was used primarily as a block absorber in 2017. But looking back at his 2016 time in a different role, his explosion really shined. This has the makings of being that magical late round small school hit of a pick.
Watching Nichols in Bears training camp, Nichols looks like the biggest and strongest guy in the room. Combine that size and strength with his explosive ability, and Bilal Nichols has a very high ceiling.
This is a guy that is obviously strong enough to hold up against the run with legitimate pass rush ability. Looking at his impressive combine, his broad jump, 40 yard dash, 10 yard split, and shuttle all rival the big school 1st and 2nd rounders.
Nichols actually reminds me a bit of a former Oklahoma DT...
Overall Draft Grade: A
Under the radar small school player hidden by scheme with a great combine and east/west game. Nichols could be a steal.
Yeah, I feel like I'm a huge dirtbag, and I want some time in the penalty box.

Flashes of Tommie Harris.
Loved the pick, dude looks good...
that link died, but the play should not be forgotten. We have been waiting for Bullard to display that get-off for 3 years.
