Jaguars had trouble getting in touch with Trevor Lawrence on draft night
Trevor Lawrence knew for months leading up to the NFL Draft that the Jacksonville Jaguars were going to take him with the first pick. Waiting until draft night to announce the pick was simply a formality for the Jaguars, but it was one that nearly backfired.
Lawrence was at home with his family the night of the draft waiting to officially celebrate the start of his NFL career. When the Jaguars were on the clock at No. 1, they tried to get Lawrence on the phone to deliver the news that the former Clemson star knew was coming. There was one big problem, however — Jacksonville’s calls weren’t getting through.
Eventually, Urban Meyer was able to reach Lawrence from his personal cell phone. You can see the comically tense situation unfold below:
