Despite a challenging season, the Cincinnati Bengals' rookies are showing potential for future development. In a recent game against the Buffalo Bills, Demetrius Knight stood out, recording six tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble, demonstrating his ability to contain quarterbacks effectively, particularly against a scrambling Lamar Jackson.

According to Cincy Jungle, this performance could signify a promising trajectory for Knight, who was drafted for his versatility on the edge. Meanwhile, Dylan Fairchild, another rookie, faced difficulties in pass protection, including allowing a sack and pressure leading to a turnover.
