3. DL Dexter Lawrence

During Dexter Lawrence’s four-year career thus far, he has been one of the most consistent players on the defensive side of the ball. Combine that with his loveable and all around fantastic personality, and you have the recipe for a fan favorite.

However, this season Lawrence has had moments where he has looked better than ever, especially in Week 2. While Lawrence may not have had the best game in Week 1 against the Titans, he looked unstoppable against the Panthers. He racked up five combined tackles, a QB hit, and a forced fumble.

Something you can always say about Lawrence is that he is very dependable and you know what you are going to get out of him every week. However, if he can finally make that leap to star status, it would be monstrous for the NY Giants defense.

A defensive front that features Leonard Williams, Dexter Lawrence, Azeez Ojulari, and Kayvon Thibodeaux must be absolutely terrifying for opposing teams to face. If these players can stay healthy, the NY Giants could have one of the best defenses in the league very soon.
