28 tackles, 9 vs pittsburgh in the loss. bengals d needs more help.
Knight looked like the best young building block on the defense. He had 106 tackles, three sacks and two red-zone picks, and he did it as a rookie. I have him at an eight. He is physical without being stuck in the box and makes high-leverage plays. The next step is cleaning up coverage spacing and proving it again.
Strengths: Knight combines size, range, blitz timing and ball awareness. His tackles, sacks and red-zone interceptions show genuine three-down impact.
Weaknesses: He can still be manipulated by route combinations and occasionally arrives too aggressively. As an older second-year player, refinement needs to come quickly.
