The Cincinnati Bengals have used high picks on defensive linemen in recent drafts to mixed results. Names like Margus Hunt, Dontay Moch, Devon Still and Jordan Willis have left underwhelming results after being drafted in the second and third rounds.
However, 2018 third-round pick, Sam Hubbard, had a nice rookie campaign. As a rotational player with the Bengals, the former Ohio State standout had six sacks and 39 total tackles.
A starting role appears to be up next for Hubbard, so 2019 is a huge year for his career arc.
