The massive numbers next to his name on the Giants’ salary cap —Opponents will make him the center of their scouting reports, starting Sept. 10 when the Giants open the year against the Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football.”The continuity from Year 2 in coordinator Wink Martindale’s system is supposed to pay dividends.The Giants are supposed to take another step forward — perhaps inching closer to the NFC East’s top — and prove their 2022 success wasn’t a fluke.
“I know that a lot more eyes, quote-unquote pressure, that people try to put on you and my position,” Lawrence told The Post after practice Thursday, “but I don’t really buy into that. I know who I am as a player, and I know the things I need to get better at. And I know what to do to get better at those things.
That started happening when he arrived as first-round pick in 2019, and the Giants won just four games in Pat Shurmur’s final year. The Joe Judge experiment didn’t pan out, either. “A lot of guys been here through all the losing, and to have one good season, it felt good. But we all know that we can do more and we’re excited to just keep working and prove ourselves week in and week out.”
