Top 10 Potential Bengals Breakout Players 2015: No. 6, P.J. Dawson

We continue the list of potential Bengals breakout players with a rookie who has a high ceiling, but an uncertain role in 2015.

When the draft process was heating up, most pundits figured the Bengals would search for a linebacker early on. To the surprise of some, they waited until the third round to snag up a talented player in TCU's Paul "P.J." Dawson. Perhaps equally as surprising is that one of the best linebackers in the class was available with the last pick of the third round.

Dawson had an impressive year with the Horned Frogs in 2014, racking up 135 tackles, six sacks and four interceptions.
