Before the snap, Cashius Howell let everyone know what kind of fire he brings to the football field. The Texas A&M pass rusher stared across the line at an LSU offensive lineman and television cameras caught him delivering a steady stream of pre-snap trash talk before a timeout was called.
Howell would finish the night with two sacks as No. 3 Texas A&M rolled to a 49-25 win in Happy Valley on his way to All-American and SEC Defensive Player of the Year honors.
The Bengals saw that same edge when they made Howell their first selection in the 2026 NFL draft, taking him in the second round after trading away their first-round pick in a blockbuster deal that brought Dexter Lawrence to Cincinnati.
Just a few practices into his first NFL training camp, Howell is trying to prove that confidence translates to Sundays.
