Cincinnati Bengals rookie second-round linebacker Demetrius Knight Jr. slotted into a starting spot immediately alongside Logan Wilson during offseason workouts and has already brought stability to the defense, according to The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. The 24-year-old is old for a rookie, which has made his addition more like a free-agent signing than a draft pick. Knight has the makings of a future leader of the defense in Cincinnati. He lacks size at 6-foot-2, 235 pounds, but he has good speed and was productive as a starter at South Carolina and Charlotte in college. Knight's coverage skills should make him an immediate starter in 2025 for a Bengals defense that was their glaring weakness last year. His athleticism and role as an every-down linebacker should also make him relevant in IDP fantasy leagues sooner than later.--Keith Hernandez
