New York Giants defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence was named to the Pro Football Writers of America’s All-NFC Team on Monday.
For the second consecutive season, Lawrence, 26, who was also named a second-team All-Pro as well as a Pro Bowl selection, received PFWA honors.
Lawrence registered 53 total tackles (32 solo, seven for a loss) with 21 QB hits and 4.5 sacks.

Lawrence was named along with future Hall of Famer Aaron Donald as the NFC’s top defensive tackles. Lawrence was aced out by Donald and Kansas City’s Chris Jones for All-NFL honors.
The Dallas Cowboys placed a league-high five players on the All-NFL team, while the San Francisco 49ers had four players honored.
The PFWA has selected an All-NFL team since 1966, and All-AFC and All-NFC teams since 1992.
Giants linebacker Bobby Okereke, who seemed to have a lot of support heading into the voting, did not make the cut.
Okereke played his first four seasons with the Indianapolis Colts and signed a four-year, $40 million free agent contract with the Giants last March.
The former Stanford star led the Giants in tackles in his first season (149 total, 92 solo, 11 for a loss) and added four forced fumbles, two interceptions and 2.5 sacks.
