Returning from injury in 2019, Cincinnati Bengals edge defender Carl Lawson showed briefly this preseason why expectations are high for him to enjoy a breakout campaign in his third season in the league.
Heading into the 2017 NFL Draft, the former Auburn Tiger was the 14th-ranked player overall on our big board, coming off a ridiculously efficient final season in college where he racked up nine sacks, 15 hits and 42 hurries on just 364 pass-rushing opportunities. What caused him to fall in the draft were injury concerns, something that hasn’t been put to bed in the NFL yet, especially with him suffering a season-ending injury a year ago.
