NFL Award Predictions: First-Quarter Edition
Defensive Rookie of the Year
Carl Lawson, Cincinnati Bengals
After being picked in the fourth round out of Auburn, Lawson put his name on the map in Week 3 with a 2.5 sack outing against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.
He's looked explosive and powerful in his first four games for the Cincinnati Bengals. If he continues his pace for sacks, he would finish with 10 on the year, which is just a half-sack behind last year's Defensive Rookie of the Year winner, Joey Bosa.
