WATCH: Bengals’ Jordan Willis flashes burst, but also stonewalled

Bengals third-round rookie Jordan Willis had a mixed showing on Friday.

In his debut, Willis collected his first sack, but got bodied by Buccaneers rookie tight end O.J. Howard, among others.

Willis exploded off the line to sack Bucs signal caller Ryan Griffin.

But Willis didn’t have as easy a time against the former Alabama standout Howard.

Developing burst off the line has been among Willis’ points of emphasis this offseason. The Bengals finished in the bottom third of the league in sacks a year ago, and with Margus Hunt and Michael Johnson doing nothing to secure their starting roles, Willis has an opportunity.
