Leo & Dex: From close friends to team captains

When Leonard Williams was traded to the Giants from the Jets on Oct. 28, 2019, he quickly heard from a fellow defensive lineman on his new team, rookie Dexter Lawrence.

"He reached out to me on Instagram and sent me his number, welcomed me to the team," Williams said yesterday. "He was one of the first guys on the team that I talked to, and he was one of the first guys I started talking to. And we've kept a good relationship since."

"We bonded right away," Lawrence said. "And it was big for me to have another vet in the room and somebody that I grew up watching a little bit when I was in high school. It was just cool to have him and his personality; we just linked automatically."

That is an understatement. It might be impossible to find two Giants teammates who have a tighter connection than Williams and Lawrence. They play next to each other on the defensive line. Their lockers are side-by-side. They hang out together off the field.

This week, their teammates selected them as two of the Giants' 10-man contingent of captains, the first pair of defensive linemen to be so honored since season-long captains were instituted in 2007.

"I think it's a really cool thing," Williams said. "People are always saying that we're like brothers. We're like the biggest in the building when we're walking together all the time. Even my girl (Hailey Lott) made a funny comment when I told her that me and him are both captains. She was like, 'Oh, you guys are like a package deal, huh?' And I think it's awesome because we have a great relationship and we're in the same room. We're around each other all the time."

"This is both of our first years on this team being a captain, so it just shows the respect that we earned on the team and the leadership that we've grown into," Lawrence said. "It's just an honor, honestly, to be the voice of the team and to be able to just lead – a known leader type of thing."
