Brian Burns, Malik Nabers are alternates
Despite having his season end early, New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has been selected as a starting interior defensive lineman for the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Games.
This is Lawrence’s third consecutive Pro Bowl selection. He is the first Giants player to be voted to three straight Pro Bowls since safety Landon Collins from 2016-18 and the first defensive lineman since Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan from 2001-03.
Lawrence is the franchise’s first interior defensive lineman to earn three Pro Bowl selections since Rosie Grier in 1953, 1956 and 1960.
Lawrence is on IR with a dislocated left elbow. In his 12 games, the 340-pound defensive tackle and three-time team captain had a career-high 9.0 sacks and 16 quarterback hits. He recorded all nine sacks in the season’s first seven games, including a career-best 3.0 in the Giants’ victory in Seattle on Oct. 6.
Lawrence still leads the team in sacks.
Brian Burns was selected as a first alternate at outside linebacker, while rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers was chosen as a second alternate.
Burns is second on the team with 8.0 sacks. Nabers has had one of the most productive seasons by a rookie wide receiver in NFL history with 104 receptions, 1,140 yards and six touchdowns. He can break Steve Smith’s franchise record of 107 receptions in a season with four catches on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
