Jordan Willis isn't the only Bengals rookie defensive end catching people's eyes.

Carl Lawson was a force against the Redskins on Sunday. As the Bengals retool their line searching for foundational pieces, Lawson and Willis have provided every reason to believe they can be those parts.

Lawson fell to the fourth round, but if his play is any indication, that was a tad bit too low. He beat Redskins tackle Trent Williams for a sack. Williams is often considered one of the best tackles in football.
