Jason Kelce Reacts to Bengals Blockbuster Trade for Dexter Lawrence: ‘They Hit the Jackpot’

"I'll speak on Dexter because I had to block him. I mean, for me, I feel very lucky that I got to play him young in his career before he had figured out all my tricks that I tried to use against him," Kelce said. "Because that was the only way I was surviving. Watching the tape from a few years when Wink (Martindale) was the defensive coordinator, he was virtually like unblockable.

"You would watch the tape and it's like, God d**n guys like destroying centers. And he is a massive human being. He's massive. Every bit of 6'4", if not 6'5", over 340 easily, and can move. He's a dancing bear. You see it when he's doing his Sexy Dexy. Which you do not want to see."

The fact that Kelce is talking about Lawrence like he's an other-worldly defensive player is a huge compliment. Kelce is one of the greatest interior offensive linemen in modern NFL history.

It's a huge addition for the Bengals.

"This is a big add for the Bengals. I hope they utilize him in a way that really accentuates when he's had the most success in his career. Big move for the Bengals," Kelce said. "A big pick. This is the first time the Bengals, I think, have given up a top 10 pick for another player. Hopefully adds a lot to a defense that has really been a weakness there in Cincinnati. Look forward to seeing what that looks like this season."

Hearing former opponents of Lawrence speak so highly of him is a good sign for the Bengals. Lawrence is a game wrecker in the middle of the defensive line. The film doesn't lie. Kelce isn't going to lie about Lawrence's dominance, either.
