1. DT Dexter Lawrence

Not only was Dexter Lawrence the best player on the NY Giants last season, but he was arguably the best nose tackle in the NFL. After earning himself a massive extension this offseason, it's likely we see Lawrence in a Giants uniform for a very long time. In this period of time, the odds of Lawrence making tons of Pro Bowls are incredibly high.

Last season, Lawrence racked up 61 combined tackles, nine sacks, 63 total pressures, and two forced fumbles. All of these numbers were career highs and amongst some of the best in the league, so it's no surprise that Lawrence made both a Pro Bowl, as well as an All-Pro Second Team. The best part about all of this is that Lawrence is just 25 years old and is only going to get better as his career progresses.

There were few defensive linemen in all of football more exciting to watch than Lawrence last season. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he is also one of the best personalities in the league. The way he dominates the trenches and has fun doing so is just such a great thing to see.

Hopefully, we see a similar season in terms of production out of Lawrence. Keeping this level of play up alongside the additions Schoen made on defense could spell disaster for the opposing teams New York faces this season.
