Breaking: ‘This is the end for me.’ Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow in tears as he announces…….

The Bengals extend a supportive gesture to one of their star players and look ahead to the future in the most recent 2025 NFL Mock Draft.
Originally shared on A to Z Sports by the author John Sheeran, with the most recent update on November 21, 2024.
Trey Hendrickson is the sole player the Cincinnati Bengals can rely on to bring down the quarterback with a sack. El jugador seleccionado tres veces para el Pro Bowl encabeza la NFL con 11.5 capturas en 11 partidos. There are only a couple of players on Cincinnati’s team who have scored more than two goals.

When pinpointing the issues with the Bengals’ defense, this ranks close to the top.

It is evident that Hendrickson cannot handle all tasks alone, so the Bengals require an additional asset to excel in pass rushing. Adding to the urgency, Hendrickson’s agreement will come to an end by the conclusion of the 2025 season.

The Bengals may have such a pressing requirement that they might have to use a top draft pick to address it. In the most recent A to Z Sports 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Rob Gregson tackled the situation with precision and determination.

In the 2025 NFL Mock Draft, the Bengals select the initial edge defender chosen.
The Bengals, with a record of 4-7, are currently in line to secure the 11th pick in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. Highly talented prospects like Will Johnson, a cornerback from Michigan, or Luther Burden, a wide receiver from Missouri, may be beyond their reach. However, the Bengals could benefit from this situation as it may cause a surplus of edge defenders, giving them the opportunity to select the best of the best.

Coincidentally, that’s precisely how things unfolded in this simulation, with Abdul Carter from Penn State being the initial edge defender selected, a situation that aligns flawlessly with Cincinnati’s plans:

The Bengals are in dire need of a pass rusher, and it’s quite surprising that the first one hasn’t been selected yet. There are numerous options available, offering a variety of skills and strengths for the team to consider. Abdul Carter stands out in the class with exceptional qualities and potential, making him an obvious choice for Cincinnati. – Rob Gregson from A to Z Sports

Carter is currently shining brightly in a remarkable third season for one of the top teams in the nation. En tan solo 10 partidos de este año, ha alcanzado cifras récord en capturas (8) y tackles detrás de la línea de scrimmage (18, líder en la NCAA), y solo tiene 21 años.

In the last couple of years, Carter has emerged as a dominant force in pass rushing, frequently outperforming his counterparts, while also showcasing exceptional skills in run defense. He possesses all the qualities needed to be chosen in the first round.

An advance glimpse at the manufacturing process for the EDGE class of 2025.

James Pearce and Abdul Carter are on track to achieve Top 5 rankings.

Mike Green y David Bailey son similares a Nik Bonitto y Nick Herbig en el sentido de ser EDGEs productivos y de menor tamaño.

Carter is set to become the Bengals’ second first-round edge defender in the last three years, following in the footsteps of Myles Murphy. However, it is evident that Carter boasts a more impressive track record than Murphy and could be the key solution to the team’s struggles with pass rush. This year, Murphy has not managed to achieve a single sack so far.

Next year, the Bengals’ defensive line will undergo some modifications. Joseph Ossai and Cam Sample are set to hit the open market as free agents, while Sam Hubbard is expected to be a casualty of the salary cap. Additionally, Murphy has not yet reached the level required to be the team’s second-best choice in that position.

As Hendrickson turns 30, he finds himself entering a crucial contract year. Let’s delve into the topic of stress! Carter appears to be a promising initial move in the group’s reconstruction efforts.
