MMQB’s Albert Breer is reporting that the Detroit Lions sending two staff members to Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s Pro Day on Friday. They will be among 17 teams that will be sending a total of 31 individuals to watch Lawrence workout.
Lawrence is a complete prospect at quarterback and is expected to be the first selection in the 2021 NFL draft. That selection is currently being held by the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are sending three members to today’s workout — which will be shown live on NFL Network at 10:00 am EST.
Picking seventh, the Lions appear out of reach to select Lawrence, but with five first-round picks over the next three years and a front office that has shown tendencies to aggressively go after quarterbacks in the past — both Brad Holmes and John Dorsey have traded up for quarterbacks (Jared Goff and Patrick Mahomes respectively) in the past — so, nothing should be ruled out.
Clemson is loaded with draft talent, as always, but today’s workout focus is on Lawrence and therefore won’t feature a traditional allotment of players participating. Wide receiver Cornell Powell is the only draft-eligible player who will be working out, meaning the Lions will have to make another trip to Clemson later in the offseason to scout running back Travis Etienne, offensive lineman Jackson Carman, and Amari Rodgers, among others.
