Dexter Lawrence is going into a new chapter! The New York Giants selected Lawrence with the 17th overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. And since his entry, he has been proving his worth as the defensive tackle for the team.
In just five seasons, Lawrence recorded “266 tackles, defended 10 passes, achieved 21 sacks, made 28 tackles for loss, and delivered 79 hits on the quarterback.” As he continues to draw attention with his significant impact on the field, the 26-year-old is also making headlines off-the-field due to his long-term relationship with Donna McCain.

In March 2020, the athlete first met McCain when she prepared meals for him and other NFL players. And obviously, there is no need to explain that the meal did the magic.
