Bengals Take Joseph Ossai To Help With Pass Rush
4 years agoThe Cincinnati Bengals selected Texas edge rusher Joseph Ossai with the No. 69 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Ossai is long and explosive and should help Cincinnati replace Carl Lawson. In the beginning of the third round, this is a great value pick for the Bengals. He has a high motor at the next level, which gives him a high ceiling at the next level. Ossai has a big frame (6-foot-4, 253 pounds), but he'll need to refine his hand usage in the NFL in order to be more consistent. He has good bend around the edge and has the potential to be a dangerous speed rusher for Cincy. Ossai has the versatility to be a 4-3 player or a standup guy in a 3-4 scheme that can drop into coverage.
