The Cowboys traded up in the 2014 draft to select Lawrence in the second round (34th overall) because they believed he was the last elite pass-rusher available and didn’t want to miss the opportunity to add a difference-maker.
But Lawrence wasn’t the player the Cowboys envisioned because of the injury he suffered in one of the first training camp practices while working one-on-one against left tackle Tyron Smith.
By all accounts, Lawrence has been dominant this offseason. Even Cowboys Hall of Famer Randy White liked what he saw of Lawrence at a recent practice.
“I tell you what, the guy can move like a cat,” White said. “He’s pretty impressive out there. He can be a game-changer out there if he can continue to improve and play the way he did at the end of last year. I think he’s going to be a great player for them.”
Added Cowboys veteran defensive end Jeremy Mincey: “He’s looking spectacular right now.”
