DeMarcus Lawrence is one of the best two-way defensive ends in the NFL. In a league where pass rushers get most of the praise, but are rarely good against the run, the Dallas Cowboys’ defender has made a name for himself doing both during his seven years in the league.
The sack totals of the past few years might not match the top tier DE’s, but Lawrence’s work as both a high-level pressure create and run stopper makes him one of the elite defensive lineman in the league. For the Cowboys, Lawrence has easily been their best defensive player and a leader for the last handful of seasons.
