An In-Depth Look at Cincinnati Bengals' Most Intriguing Selection, Paul Dawson

There's little debate that the Cincinnati Bengals' most heralded pick in the 2015 NFL draft also happens to be the team's most intriguing selection. 

This refers to third-round pick Paul Dawson, of course.

Dawson was one of the most polarizing players in the 2015 class. On film, Dawson catches the eye and never lets go due to his instinctual play allowing him to amass video game-esque numbers. 

Off the field, iffy measurables and character concerns plummeted his stock and caused many teams to question whether he was worth the risk.

Coach Marvin Lewis and the Bengals seem to think so because he might remind them of another formerly troubled 'backer by the name of Vontaze Burfict.
