Bengals' front seven ranked 26th in NFL by analyst Warren Sharp

Warren Sharp of Sharp Football Analysis has ranked the Cincinnati Bengals' front seven 26th in the NFL. Despite offseason efforts to strengthen the defensive line, including the trade for Dexter Lawrence and the signings of Boye Mafe and Jonathan Allen, the unit remains near the bottom of the rankings. The Bengals generated pressure on only 15% of opponent dropbacks last season, ranking 31st. Sharp notes the absence of former player Trey Hendrickson has significantly impacted both the Bengals and the New York Giants' rankings.
