On Friday morning, Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, the long-awaited No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL draft, celebrated his professional day for scouts and evaluators. I had a chance to be there and watch him do 52 throws and chat with him a little bit after training.
The junior QB, 6 feet 6 and 213 pounds, opted to have the session before surgery on his left labrum, his shoulder not throwing. The procedure is not expected to affect its availability for the start of the training camp in July. Among the 16 NFL teams that attended Friday were the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have a chance to select Lawrence at No. 1 this April.
Below are some of my great contributions to the professional training of the day and what comes next for the talented quarterback.
