Trevor Lawrence clarifies his love of football after reaction to comments to Sports Illustrated
It didn’t seem entirely necessary for Lawrence to do this. No matter what, Urban Meyer and the Jaguars aren’t going to pass him up at first overall in the draft. He’s a generational quarterback prospect.
But in case anyone was concerned about how the uber-hyped QB would fare as he takes the next step to the pro game, Lawrence answered the criticism anyway.
Much has been made about how indefatigably driven the workaholic Urban Meyer is, and how that might not be a great match with Trevor Lawrence.
Jacksonville is being very public about its intentions to draft Lawrence. If there were any serious issues, that wouldn’t be the case. Heck, Meyer wouldn’t have taken the gig in the first place if he didn’t have assurances that Lawrence would be his quarterback.
Meyer has the whole relentless, impassioned leadership style on lock. He’s amped up to build his program in Jacksonville, and will push Lawrence to be his absolute best. Lawrence is the calm, cool, collected type who knows how good he is, doesn’t need a chip on his shoulder to thrive, and should mesh extremely well with his new head coach in the NFL.
Worry not, Jaguars fans. Despite your shaky track record of first-round picks, you won’t mess this one up.
