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.
