Bengals' Dexter Lawrence tops NFL training camp hype list

Cincinnati Bengals training camp hype is being led by Dexter Lawrence, highlighted as the most exciting player to watch by Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox. The article notes that, beyond star names such as Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati made a major move this offseason by trading away the 10th pick for Lawrence. Knox argues Lawrence may not pressure quarterbacks off the edge like Hendrickson when healthy, but he is described as an interior pass rusher who can collapse the pocket, command double teams, and free up blitzing defenders. The piece also suggests his presence could make battles between offense and defense closer during camps. It frames Lawrence as scheme-altering and as a factor that may help a linebacker unit described as struggling and developing, while also impacting edge development for first-round pick Shemar Stewart.
