Carl Lawson is expected to be one of the Bengals’ biggest contributors in his second season. After an excellent rookie season, Lawson has seemingly improved this offseason. Every report coming out of camp so far has gushed about Lawson just terrorizing the Bengals’ offensive linemen in scrimmages. Lawson is ready to explode in his sophomore season.
The Bengals, however, are planning on keeping Lawson’s snap percentage similar to last season. NBC Sports reported that the team wants to maximize Lawson’s production by not playing him a high number of snaps each game. This report certainly evoked some frustration from Bengals fans, including myself, who obviously recognize Lawson’s immense talent.
