DE Carl Lawson, Cincinnati
When you think of Carl Lawson, you think some combination of these words: Big, bad, fast.
Then you see this picture of Carl Lawson and you add a word to that list: scary.
Good gracious, Carl, lift much?
The second-year Cincinnati Bengals defensive end looks poised for a breakout season in 2018.
And he’s not short on confidence, either.
“I feel like I can be ridiculously good,” Lawson told the Dayton Daily News.
We’re with you, Carl. After recording 8.5 sacks last season in limited time on the field, the fourth-round pick (seriously, teams waited until the fourth round to take him?!) looks like someone ready to dominate. And that’s his goal.
“Just dominate. Every play. That’s it,” he said.
