## Resource

The Bengals stunned the NFL with a bold draft move, selecting pass rusher Cashius Howell—shortest arms of any edge rusher available—with their first pick in 2026. Despite his unconventional profile, Howell’s elite pressure-to-sack conversion rate mirrors that of rookie standout Gabe Jacas, who lit up New England’s opener with three tackles for loss and one sack. With Dexter Lawrence now on board, Cincinnati is betting big on disruptive, non-traditional talent—and Howell’s rookie season could be the ultimate test of that gamble.
