I agree with him lol
He has some things that he needs to improve on, namely in coverage and stopping the run but he is a rare
talent rushing the passer already. I like how he has already been eyeing Dunlap's records.

After watching him last season, hearing his confidence and seeing the effort and diligence to back up his statements, I think this guy could have a monster season.

With 8.5 sacks last season I don't doubt him.

Well then it's time to get ridiculous!!! Just read that he will not be a linebacker, just a DE!

I used to say the same thing to chicks in bars. It was met with skepticism back then too.

I can see this guy being the next Geno on the outside. A perennial pro bowler who ends up as one of the best Bengals of all time. Still a long way to go but I can see it.

Yep he definitely walked the walk in his first year.
Hard to dislike.him.

Anybody who watched CL in college knows health is the only reason he wasn't a top 10 pick in the NFL. Here's to hoping he left the injury bug in college and dominates this year.

very refreshing to hear such confidence.i havent heard this kind of confidence from a player in 3rd person
since the days of Chad and T.J.
currently i hear it from the STEELERS PLAYERS.
Lawson had a 10 sack season but i think 2 penalties nullified his sacks.
i hope his confidence is contagious

You must have missed Dunlap saying he’d break the sack record...

Sounds like he works very hard to succeed. That’s the kinda stuff we need in players. Good kid.

Yes we do, and hopefully others will take notice of him and step it up.

Just has to stay healthy. Nearly unstoppable when healthy and can pin his ears back.
Dude gets around the edge like the elites of all time. Like Impactplayer said he could of had atleast 10 sacks as
a rookie but a few got taken away by penalties. For instance TJ Watt shouldn't of had as many sacks as he did as
he committed penalties and got away with them (which we all know never happens with Steeler players).
I believe the penalties that costed Lawson to not get double digit sacks were not his fault either. Could be wrong.

I could see it rare skills the Law has.

Not bad at all. Also see a little Von Miller in him, Lawson just plays on the right side more often.
Would be cool to see us rotate our Ends a little more and see them on different sides from time to time.
Give blockers a lot more to think about.

True, injury history was the only reason he fell that far. I had both him and Willis rated as 2nd rounders.
Only had Willis rated ahead of him cause of the injuries and the fact Willis was a good run stopper at Kansas State.

Lawson looks physically imposing.
He looks like the terminator.

Confidence is key. He looks like he is in phenomenal shape this year, says volumes because he's always looked pretty darn good.
