Clemson football – Shaq Lawson /

31. Tom Coughlin is out, but it doesn’t change anything for the New York Giants. Their defense was again one of the worst in the NFL last season and a huge reason for that was their defensive line. It continuously wasn’t able to apply pressure on the quarterback, something that seem sacrilege given its history. <p>Jason Pierre-Paul is an unknown quantity, so this team has to find an edge presence who can demand attention from blockers. Shaq Lawson was every bit of that for Clemson in 2015, racking up 12.5 sacks. He’s got that 4-3 defensive end size, significant power and enough quickness to beat blockers off the snap. Best of all he hasn’t even begun to tap into his potential.</p>. DE. Clemson. Shaq Lawson. 10. player
