Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Amarius Mims recently shared his impressions of new teammate Dexter Lawrence, a nose tackle acquired from the New York Giants. Mims, who is 6-foot-8 and weighs 350 pounds, was taken aback by Lawrence's size when they met for the first time. Lawrence, standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing 342 pounds, was traded to the Bengals in exchange for a No. 10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Mims humorously recounted how he felt overpowered during their handshake, stating, "I went backwards, and he just stood there." He expressed his happiness about having Lawrence on the team, remarking that opposing offensive lines will have a tough time facing him. Lawrence, who requested a trade after failed negotiations with the Giants, shared his feelings about the abrupt transition, stating he feels "blessed" and is eager to perform well for the Bengals after the significant trade.
