Lawrence has played 12 years in the NFL with great success, but only last season reached the pinnacle of his career by helping the Seahawks hoist the Lombardi Trophy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A 2014 second-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys, Lawrence has 157 career appearances (139 starts), with 503 tackles, 67.5 sacks, 146 quarterback hits, 108 tackles for loss , 24 forced fumbles, 11 fumble recoveries. He’s made five Pro Bowls, including last year as a Seahawk, his first with the club after 11 years rocking the star on his helmet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He showed he still had plenty in the tank for Seattle, as his three fumble recoveries — two of which he returned for scores — marked a career high. His six sacks finished one behind the joint team leaders, Byron Murphy<\/a>, Leonard Williams<\/a> and Uchenna Nwosu<\/a>. He also forced another three fumbles and added a pair of sacks in the playoffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n The 2026 season that is now expected to serve as his last will provide Lawrence a platform to add to his totals.<\/p>\n “It was a tough process,” Lawrence told Epstein. “But through the grace of God, I’m able to play another year and soak it all up one more good time before I hang it up.”\u00a0<\/p>\n There’s much more to Lawrence’s upcoming season than a ceremonial victory lap to a stellar career, though. The Seahawks are locked and loaded for a Super Bowl defense, hoping the story ends with Lawrence riding into the sunset wearing two championship rings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lawrence has played 12 years in the NFL with great success, but only last season reached the pinnacle…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":858374,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[10949,49,48,14622,44,514,2208,1739,82],"class_list":["post-858373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-around-the-nfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-demarcus-lawrence","tag-news","tag-nfl","tag-no-minute","tag-seattle-seahawks","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/858373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=858373"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/858373\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/858374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=858373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=858373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=858373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
