Professional career

Dunlap was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft.

Dunlap did not see much playing time early the season, but received more playing time due to several injuries on the Bengals defensive line. He finished the season as the team's sack leader with 9.5 sacks, despite playing in just 12 games. The 9.5 sacks were also the most by a rookie in team history.

In July 2013, Dunlap was re-signed by the Bengals to a six-year, $40 million contract.
