DeMarcus Lawrence Trolls Yahoo! Sports for Ridiculous Sack Leaders Graphic That Didn't Include Him
By Sean Facey
Yahoo! Sports disrespected DeMarcus Lawrence, so it's only fair that he returned the favor.
After waking up angry on Friday, the Dallas Cowboys edge rusher hilariously clowned their Twitter page after it posted a graphic about possible 2019 sack leaders that somehow didn't include him.

Seriously, the man has 25 sacks over the last two years, the same or more than half of the guys who made the list. He deserves far more credit for his work than he's getting.
When healthy, Lawrence has proven time and time again that he's a force to be reckoned with. In 57 games since the start of 2015, he's amassed 34 sacks, 46 tackles for loss, and 67 hits on the quarterback.
He's played so well that Jerry Jones and the Cowboys, who have been incredibly tight-fisted as of late, felt comfortable signing him to a five-year, $105 million deal this offseason.
DeMarcus Lawrence is confident in his ability coming back from offseason shoulder surgery: "Y'all forget I played two seasons with a torn labrum, so it really wasn't about how ready the arm was going to be. I know I'm ready mentally and physically. You only need 1 arm to beat 2."

Sure, he's coming off of shoulder surgery. That might slow him down for a bit, but the man is simply too good for the injury to limit him for very long.
Lawrence is playing in a Rod Marinelli defense that prides itself on its ability to get to the quarterback. He's going to be a monster in the trenches this year, and it's time that everyone starts recognizing that.
