Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence will be taking the field tomorrow morning for a workout in front of the whole NFL, although it’s pretty much a guarantee that he’ll be going first overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars. On Thursday, offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell told the media he will be attending with Brian Schottenheimer and Urban Meyer in what will be their last look at Lawrence before he has a left shoulder injury repaired.

In what was his first meeting with the Jacksonville media, Bevell also said he’ll personally be paying attention to Lawrence’s velocity, as it’s something that can be hard to gauge on film.
“I think for me it’s just important, like I said earlier, just to see the ball come out of his hands,” said Bevell. “I think one of the hardest things to do on tape is to be able to tell velocity and just the way it comes out of his hand. I also want to see the command that he’s going to have. [It’s] kind of our first opportunity to be able to get him in person, so [I’m] excited to do that.
The news broke of Lawrence’s workout and injury last week. While it isn’t known how or when he sustained the injury, it is known that he’ll be ready for training camp. That would seem to indicate that the labrum injury to his non-throwing shoulder isn’t severe.
As for Bevell, he isn’t foreign to rookie quarterbacks after working with Russell Wilson during his first season and beyond. That said, fans should be very excited about the OTA and training camp phase as Bevell had a long and mostly successful run in Seattle.
