Some questioned the Giants’ wisdom for making “Sexy Sexy” the 17th overall selection in last year’s draft, but he had a solid NFL debut.

Lawrence was voted the top defensive rookie lineman with a 76.1 overall grade. The knock on Lawrence was that he wouldn’t be a pile pusher in the middle, but he proved everyone wrong.

Lawrence showed a bit of a pass rush and played solidly overall starting all 16 games as rookie. He will only improve from here on out.
