Alabama. Tim Williams. 9. player. 56. . EDGE

The Cincinnati Bengals need some pass-rushing help this offseason, after finishing 2016 with just 33 sacks — 20th in the NFL.

Alabama edge rusher Tim Williams is a good fit for this defense. At 6-foot-4 and 252 pounds, Williams amassed 20 sacks over four collegiate seasons. And 18.5 of those came between 2015 and 2016.

Cincinnati needs an edge player to pair with fellow front-seven defender Carlos Dunlap. The Bengals could certainly do worse than using Williams to upgrade the defense.
