About Lawrence Guy
Lawrence Guy has been a defensive force in the NFL since being selected in the seventh round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Before signing with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2024, Lawrence built an impressive career with the New England Patriots, where he was a key contributor to their incredible success. In his first season with the Patriots, he helped lead the team to an AFC Championship and played a pivotal role in their Super Bowl LIII victory, securing the franchise’s sixth title. Now, with the Bengals, Lawrence continues to be one of the NFL’s most formidable defensive players.
Off the field, Lawrence’s commitment to giving back is even more impressive than his on-field achievements. He consistently immerses himself in community work, hosting events like the marquee LGFF Baby Shower Bash, organizing Thanksgiving giveaways, back-to-school drives, and holiday shopping sprees for families in need. His impact has been felt in cities across the U.S., including his hometown of Las Vegas, NV, as well as Baltimore, MD, Miami, FL, Boston, MA, and now, Cincinnati. Lawrence is passionate about using his platform as an NFL player to uplift those in need, ensuring that his career leaves a lasting legacy beyond the game.
