Dexter Lawrence - New York Giants Great or Best Available?
In this episode of NY Giants Generations we break down the career of Dexter Lawrence II—nickname “Sexy Dexy”—to answer the burning question: Is he a true Giants legend, or simply the best defensive tackle this team could land?
We dive into his journey from Clemson standout and 2019 first-round pick to becoming the backbone of Big Blue’s defensive line. With three straight Pro Bowls, back-to-back All‑Pro honors, and top-tier PFF grades—he ranked as the #2 interior defensive lineman in the NFL behind only Chris Jones in 2025
But Lawrence plays on a team that’s struggled mightily. We'll explore how he’s elevated those around him, examine whether he’s been truly underpaid given his four‑year, $90 million extension
si.com, and discuss whether his excellence is enough to cement him as a franchise icon—especially given the Giants’ ongoing offensive woes .
On tap:
- His elite 2024 campaign—nine sacks in 12 games before injury, an 89.9 PFF grade
- What teammates and analysts are saying—including Russell Wilson calling him a “standout” in minicamp
- The question of context: standout on gifted defenses or lifting a sinking ship?
- Fan and analyst debate: is he a future Hall of Famer or just the best available DT in free agency drafts?
If you're a die‑hard Giants fan or defensive line aficionado, this episode is for you. Tune in as we settle the debate: Is Dexter Lawrence a true Giants great—or does his legacy depend on what's built around him?
