PFF: Giants have two of NFL’s best 32 defensive linemen

New York Giants defenders Leonard Williams and Dexter Lawrence have both earned spots on Pro Football Focus’ list of the top 32 interior defensive lineman.

PFF released its list Tuesday morning. To the surprise of few, Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald took the top spot, the fifth year in a row he has done so.

Williams grabbed the ninth spot while Lawrence, the Giants first round pick in 2019, took 16th spot.
