While Carl Lawson spent his rookie season chasing the Bengals rookie record for sacks, Jordan Willis spent his first year just fighting for snaps.
Though he was drafted one round before Lawson, Willis showed he had a much longer way to go as a pass-rusher and didn’t get the limelight Lawson earned as a sack artist. But the third-round pick still impressed with his own strengths in his limited playing time.
With a year under his belt, and a role already established on a talented defensive line, Willis is ready to show us he’s taken the next step.
