Stop making the comparisons.
Dexter Lawrence, whom the Giants drafted with the 17th-overall pick in this year’s draft, is listed at 6-foot-4 and 342 pounds — a physique that is usually seen on the interior of the defensive line. Just one week into training camp, however, the former Clemson Tiger has primarily lined up as an end in defensive coordinator James Bettcher’s 3-4 defense. Lawrence enjoys the extra space, but most guys his size are primarily run-stoppers, seldom rushing the passer and often coming off the field on obvious passing downs.
Well, Lawrence isn’t most guys.
“I’m not everybody else in the league,” Lawrence said Tuesday before practice.
