Auburn. Carl Lawson. 26. player. 26. Dee Ford of the Kansas City Chiefs is the latest of Auburn edge rushers to rip up the NFL. Carl Lawson looks like he will be the next follow that blazed trail from Auburn to the NFL. And Lawson actually figures to have a much more immediate impact that Ford. <p>Remember, Lawson was considered the best edge rusher at Auburn as a freshman while Ford was a senior. But two years filled with injuries did damage to him as a draft prospect. He had to show that he can stay healthy and that he still has what it takes.</p> <p>Lawson isn’t built like a typical edge-rusher but explodes off the snap to get opposing linemen off balance. He also has violent hands to jar them and his shorter 6’2″ height helps him bend around the corner. Lawson also counters what offensive linemen do with his own handwork.</p> <p>Meanwhile, Elvis Dumerville is fading while the Terrell Suggs has a couple of more good years left. So the Baltimore Ravens bring Lawson in to disrupt quarterbacks and learn from Suggs. And when Suggs is gone, they have someone to take over for the last of the Ravens’ OGs.</p>. OLB
