Lawrence Guy has blossomed into one of the best defensive linemen in the NFL that many football fans might have not <a href="http://www.billsonlineofficial.com/shop-by-players-kyle-williams-jersey-c-1_29.html">http://www.billsonlineofficial.com/shop-by-players-kyle-williams-jersey-c-1_29.html</a> heard of. However, for Sun Devil fans, the name certainly rings a bell, and his recent success at the next level has been something they can take pride in.

The 27-year-old has settled in to the league rather nicely, signing a shiny four-year, $20 million with the New England Patriots this offseason for proof.

Time at ASU

2008: 44 tackles (17 solo), 10 tackles for loss, two sacks, one fumble recovery returned for TD

2009: 37 tackles (20 solo), seven tackles <a href="http://www.cheappatriotssale.com/shop-by-players-cyrus-jones-jersey-c-1_12.html">http://www.cheappatriotssale.com/shop-by-players-cyrus-jones-jersey-c-1_12.html</a> for loss, 4.5 sacks, three QB hurries, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery

2010: 41 tackles (14 solo), six tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, two pass breakups

Guy was a two-year starter at ASU. He was named to “several” freshman All-America teams, according to Sun Devil Athletics, and garnered Honorable Mention All-Pac-10 honors in 2008. He was placed on the 2010 Lott Trophy Watch List — an award given to college football’s Defensive IMPACT (Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community, and Tenacity) Player of the Year.

Time in the Pros

2011: Green Bay Packers (drafted in seventh <a href="http://www.dolphinsjerseyofficial.com/shop-by-players-94-mario-williams-jersey-c-1_46.html">Mario Williams Kids Jersey</a> round, 233rd overall pick): placed on injured reserve

2012: Indianapolis Colts: 18 tackles, one sack

2013: Indianapolis Colts (two games): 4 tackles, one pass deflection, one kick blocked

2013: San Diego Chargers (10 games): 16 tackles, three pass deflections, one kick blocked

2014: Baltimore Ravens: 16 tackles, one fumble recovery, one pass deflection

2015: Baltimore Ravens: 46 tackles, 4.5 sacks, one pass deflection, one kick blocked

2016: Baltimore Ravens: 28 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, one kick blocked

Guy is entering what could be considered the prime of his career, and joining forces with arguably the most-recognizable and well-run franchises in the league.

His progression from a member of <a href="http://www.billsshopofficial.com/shop-by-players-marcus-easley-jersey-c-1_33.html">Marcus Easley Youth Jersey</a> Green Bay’s practice-squad and seventh-round selection, to waived player, to now multi-million dollar-earning starter has been especially impressive.
