Professional career

Before the NFL draft in 2014, scouts noted Lawson's good physique and length, his skills in personal cover and blitz draws, his vision of the pitch, and his reaction to changing situations. The disadvantages of the player were called the lack of pressure on the host , which allows them to take the ball, a weak game against the removal and frequent violations of the rules ^[3] .

In the draft, Lawson was selected by the Detroit Lions club in the fourth round. As part of the team, he spent five years, playing in 63 championship matches. From 2016 to 2018, Nevin was a player in the starting lineup, taking this position after completing his career with Rashin Matis . During this period, he was the team’s most infringing player, receiving twenty-four flags for various violations ^[4] .

In March 2019, Lyons expelled him. Ten days later, Lawson signed a contract with the Auckland Raiders club, where Garyon Conley and Daryl Worley became his rivals in the fight for a place in the first team ^[5] .
