Giants’ Dexter Lawrence named to 2019 PFWA All-Rookie Team

The Pro Football Writers of America have been releasing their 2019 award winners in recent days, and while the New York Giants were blanked on the All-NFL and All-NFC teams, they did land one representative on the 2019 PFWA All-Rookie Team.

While quarterback Daniel Jones and wide receiver Darius Slayton failed to earn honors, defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence did make the cut alongside Josh Allen (Jacksonville Jaguars), Nick Bosa (San Francisco 49ers) and Ed Oliver (Buffalo Bills).

Lawrence, who also made the 2019 PFF All-Rookie Team, finished the season with 38 tackles, two stuffs, one forced fumble and 2.5 sacks. He also proved general manager Dave Gettleman correct in that he was more than a two-down run stuffer, consistently improving in all areas throughout the season.

The sky appears to be the limit for the soft-spoken Lawrence, who is an absolutely athletic freak of nature on the field.
