Dexter Lawrence was selected by the New York Giants with 17th pick in the 2019 draft.
Lawrence is a 6’4, 345 pound behemoth with startling quickness. A man as big as Lawrence should not be able to move like he moves. When he puts his speed and power together, he can blow up plays behind the line of scrimmage. Even if he doesn’t make it into the backfield, he won’t be moving backwards. He regularly slows up the point of attack, allowing his Clemson teammates to swarm a ball carrier. The only thing that may have slightly depressed his value was a season long foot issue as sophomore.
