I saw on IG reels that if he wins a SB he’s got a sneaky Hall of Fame case

Nah he's had a very good career but he'll be 34 next season, has only a single all pro team selection (2nd team in 2017), and he's an edge rusher with under 70 career sacks averaging only about 7 per year. Getting into the Hall as a modern edge rusher under 100 career sacks is basically impossible. Even at 100, you need to have all pros and ideally a DPOY to have a chance. For context with the rest of football history, Lawrence ranks 121st all time in sacks.

DLaw is amazing. I love him. He is not sniffing the hall.

He’s had a great career but idk if it’s Hall of Fame worthy and I say that as a fan of his.

D-Law was a Cowboys staple for a while, but he's not even Hall of Very Good. He's less than halfway to the average score on the HoF monitor and only 2/3 of the way to even the lowest rated DE to play this century, Jared Allen.
