Dexter Lawrence's Bengals Debut: Game-Changer for Cincy's D

0:00On April 20th, Dexter Lawrence just got traded from the Giants to the Bengals in a deal that sent the 10th overall draft pick the other way. The Giants are rebuilding around a new quarterback named Jackson Dart, while Cincinnati sees Lawrence as the missing piece to boost their defense and, Chase, another Super Bowl run. It all moved fast for him, sensing the shift last Saturday after lots of talks with his agent and plenty of prayer. He went from expecting a chill off season to hitting the ground running with lifts and drills right away. Lawrence is pumped about lining up next to familiar faces like BJ Hill and diving into a talented defensive front, plus sharing the field with stars. Like Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, and T Higgins, he respects head coach Zach Taylor's track record and calls it a fresh vibe on a winning squad. He owns the pressure that comes with the move, saying he's thrived under it since high school as the guy who wrecks games from the middle. No word yet from his old coach Jeff, but he's all in on the discomfort of a new city, new playbook, and linking back up with Buddy BJ to elevate the Bengals.

1:04Sounds like Lawrence is locked in and ready to ball out, turning this trade into a game changer for since he's D.
