## Resource

The Bengals just snagged a hidden gem in Antwaun Powell-Ryland, a sixth-round bust from Philly who’s now showing serious upside as a linebacker. A sack machine at Virginia Tech, he’s being groomed to fill a critical gap in Cincinnati’s defense — possibly backing up rookie Cashius Howell. Signed via futures contract, he’s got a shot at the 53-man roster, even if it’s a long shot. With the Bengals’ defense already stacked like LSU’s 2019 squad, Powell-Ryland’s versatility could make him a key situational weapon — and his camp journey is one to watch.
