Dexter Lawrence lands on PFF's top 50 players of 2025
Training camp is officially here as the team will take the field tomorrow for the first practice of the summer.
Many media outlets have recently released their top players ahead of the start of the season. The latest to do so is Pro Football Focus, who came out with its list of the top 50 players going into the 2025 campaign.
Coming in at No. 14 is none other than Giants star defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence.
"Lawrence has emerged as one of the NFL's most dominant defensive players over the past three seasons. His 89.9 PFF grade in 2024 ranked third among defensive tackles, trailing only Chris Jones and Cameron Heyward. He leads all interior defenders with a 93.3 PFF grade since 2022, and he sits second to Jones in PFF WAR. Lawrence's versatility sets him apart — he's the only defensive tackle with 90.0-plus grades in both pass rushing and run defense over that span."
Lawrence was in the midst of a career-year before an elbow injury forced him to miss the final month of the season.
The 6-foot-4, 340-pound lineman registered a career-high nine sacks across his first 12 games before the injury. He added 16 quarterback hits, eight tackles for loss, one forced fumble and one pass defensed, as well.
Lawrence was selected to the Pro Bowl for the third straight season, as previously mentioned, and while the injury likely caused him to miss out on a third consecutive AP All-Pro nod, he was voted by his peers to the NFL Players Association All-Pro team.
Lawrence has been voted first-team All-Pro at nose tackle by the NFLPA in all three years of this particular award's existence.
He was also recently voted as the top defensive tackle in the league in ESPN's poll of over 70 coaches, scouts and executives.
Here are the top 15 players from PFF's list.
