Dexter Lawrence was a rare bright spot in an otherwise dreary Giants season. 

The rest of the league noticed. 

Dexter Lawrence was named a Second Team All-Pro on Friday, the only Giants player named on any of the All-Pro teams. Lawrence was also previously voted a Pro bowler.

It’s the second year in a row Lawrence was named both to the Second-Team All-Pro and a Pro Bowler. 

Lawrence, despite battling a hamstring injury during he latter part of the season, was dominant in the first year of his four-year, $87.5 million extension he signed last offseason.

He recorded 4.5 sacks, 53 total tackles and seven tackles for loss, according to Pro Football Reference. He was also Pro Football Focus’ top-graded interior defensive lineman with a 93.0 overall grade. 

“I think I got better in some areas,” Lawrence said last week of his season. “Still got room to improve, still got to continue learning my position and crafting it up. There are things that now I get all this attention, it’s different things that I’ve got to learn how to play through and different schemes I’ve got to learn how to play through, stuff like that. 

“All I can do is just keep going out there and giving everything I’ve got every time I step on the field and that’s what I’m going to do.” 

Inside linebacker Bobby Okereke was perhaps snubbed after a strong first season with the team after signing a four-year, $40 million deal with the team last offseason.

He recorded 149 total tackles, 2.5 sacks, 11 tackles for loss and four forced fumbles, as well as 10 passes defensed and two interceptions in coverage. 

A case could also be made for safety Xavier MicKinney, who is set to be a free agent.

He finished with three interceptions, two of which came in the Giants’ Week 18 win over the Eagles, 11 passes defensed and 116 total tackles.
