Defensive End · Cincinnati Bengals

Cashius Howell

No. 55 · Rookie

The kid from Chiefs country chose a different kind of cold

Growing up where the Kansas City Chiefs are basically a religion, football was always in the air. But Cashius Howell also grew up around hockey — a detail that feels almost like a riddle until you watch him play.

Howell is a defensive end, and the Cincinnati Bengals thought enough of what they saw to take him in the second round. That is a bet placed with real conviction. Second-round picks carry expectations; they are not depth moves.

Now he is in Cincinnati, wearing a different city's colors, building toward whatever the next part of the story looks like. The background is unusual. The opportunity is not small.
