## Resource

Dexter Lawrence II’s ranking dropped to seventh among defensive tackles after a modest dip in production, but don’t mistake it for a decline—he’s still elite. Despite a career-low 0.5 sacks and missing the Pro Bowl for the first time since 2021, Lawrence faced double-teams on 70% of his pass-rush snaps, the highest rate in the league. The Bengals, who traded for him, love his leadership and are confident he’ll bounce back. Lawrence admits last season gave him perspective—and he’s ready to prove there’s more to come.
