Your thought @EAMaddenNFL ? This a historic rating? Or we ranking on production? https://t.co/JZWP9OSAi1
Lawrence signed a five-year, $105-million extension - including $65 million in guarantees - with the Cowboys in April, making him the third highest-paid defensive player in the NFL behind Khalil Mack and Aaron Donald.
