Good to see, hope he lives up to his potential.
Just don't over hype him too much, better to be surprised than disappointed.

Luckily the Bengals shouldn't need him to be a full-time starter who sees 75% or more snaps.
If he can get 5-8 sacks this season, that'd be great to go along with Hubbard's 6-9 and Hendrickson's 10+.
Tack on Hill's (hopefully) 5+ and that's a solid pass rush, for sure.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

Great news, as most know I feel this player could be a great one for us. 
Maybe not a sack leader like Hendrickson but a dude that gets lots of TFL in the run game. Takes great angles.

Of the 42 sacks we had last regular season 38 were by the DL.

If he is “just” a pass rush specialist, that extra pressure on 3rd down could prevent conversions.

I like his upside a lot too. I've always wanted a Leonard Floyd/Jerry Hughes type of player to deploy against the opposing qb....or dare I say TJ Watt lol. These aforementioned types of players are what I believe they are hoping Ossai can mold into, and of course if he does, it will have been a great pick. Hopefully we shall see this year.

Glad to see this from the ROOKIE and hope he has a great ROOKIE year. One of the easiest transitions for a ROOKIE such as Ossai to make is just pinning his ears back and going for the QB. I think he could be in the running for ROOKIE of the year.

I was thrilled when we stole Ossai in the 3rd round last year. He showed all of the promise you could ask for before his injury.
Really excited to see what he can do this year in basically his rookie season. We need to be patient with him this year since he is coming off injury and essentially a rookie.
We can include his production along with all of the rookies this year. Anything he brings to the table as a rookie is just more improvement on a team that went to the SB last year.

He isn't "just" a pass rush specialist which is so cool about Ossai. He is a great run stopper. 3 down End and can play LB
and even 3-tech if we need him to. Crazy versatility, but yeah, he has one heck of a pass rush too if he can stay healthy.

Dare I say Micah Parsons.

Insane numbers. Don't know how he fell past the early 2nd round, let alone all the way to us in the early 3rd...

Uh oh, you said it LF40 lol
But it is true, it will be his first snaps in NFL regular season games if he stays healthy knock on wood.
