Bengals Nation

Amarius Mims is officially locked in for a massive developmental leap after completely shutting down opposing pass rushers down the stretch last season.

No surprise Chase is in the club 🔥

Shemar Stewart enters Year 2 with plenty of pressure to deliver ⏳

The Bengals selected Stewart with the 17th overall pick, betting on his elite upside. But injuries limited him to just 280 snaps as a rookie, and even when he was on the field, he struggled to make the impact Cincinnati had hoped for.

With Trey Hendrickson no longer in town and Boye Mafe brought in to help strengthen the edge rotation, Stewart remains a crucial piece of a defense looking to rebound after finishing near the bottom of the league in 2025.

If the Bengals want to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2022, they’ll need the 22-year-old to take a major leap 📈
