Former Georgia Bulldogs running back Sony Michel is fresh off winning his second career Super Bowl. Michel helped the Los Angeles Rams win a Super Bowl last season. Michel also played a vital role as the New England Patriots won a Super Bowl during his rookie season in 2018.
Now, Michel is likely looking for a new NFL home. The Los Angeles Rams return Cam Akers, Darrell Henderson, and recently drafted Kyren Williams. The Rams traded for Michel midway through the 2021 NFL season after suffering several running back injuries.
NFL free agency is picking up for another wave following the 2022 NFL draft. Sony Michel visited the Miami Dolphins on May 4 has another visit set with the New Orleans Saints. Michel is one of the top remaining free agents in the NFL.
Michel, a 2018 NFL draft first-round pick out of Georgia, rushed for 845 yards and scored four touchdowns last year with the Rams. Michel also caught 21 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Michel’s pair of visits:
Former first-round RB Sony Michel visited with the #Dolphins today and is set to visit the #Saints later this week, per source. Multiple teams looking for an offensive weapon post-draft.
