and defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence. So, it is fitting that those two young players on Wednesday were named to the Pro Bowl.
Barkley, 25, is fourth in the NFL in rushing with 1,170 yards and he has nine rushing touchdowns. He also has a team-high 47 receptions for 294 yards. Four Giants are Pro Bowl alternates: kicker Graham Gano , left tackle Andrew Thomas and center Jon Feliciano , and Thibodeaux .Thibodeaux’s monster performance in last week’s 20-12 victory over the Commanders earned him the NFC Defensive Player of the Week award, the first for the rookie outside linebacker.
Thibodeaux is only the second Giants rookie to win the award. Linebacker Devon Kennard won it in Week 14 of the 2014 season. The plummet for linebacker Tae Crowder was sudden and swift. He started the first eight games and then was a seldom-used reserve for five games before he was a healthy scratch last week in Washington. Crowder tweeted, “Free Me” after he did not play a snap on defense against the Commanders in Week 13 and on Tuesday he was released.
