Friday marked an important day for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Trevor Lawrence as the future No. 1 overall pick held his workout at Clemson’s indoor facility Friday morning. And while the workout was one that didn’t have to be done, Lawrence wanted to respect the NFL’s scouting process and put on a show for those who came.
With 31 NFL teams attending, none were able to get a better view than the Jaguars as Urban Meyer watched the pro day from a distance of about five yards.
A total of 31 guys in attendance at Clemson from 17 NFL teams: 49ers (2), Broncos, Chargers(2), Dolphins, Eagles, Falcons (4), Giants (2), Jaguars (3), Jets (3), Lions (2), Panthers (3), Patriots (2), Raiders, Saints, Steelers, Texans, Titans.
Happy Trevor Lawrence Day!

Lawrence said the workout was one that was brought up on short notice, so he had about a week to prepare. That still didn’t stop him from putting on an impressive display, which included a couple rockets down the field.

What a way to end a workout, right?
As previously reported, Lawrence held his throw day early due to discovering a left labrum issue, which will require repairing. After his series of throws on the field Lawrence said he believes the procedure will prevent him from throwing for six to eight weeks (late March to early April). He also added that the full clearance process will take four to five months (June-July), which means he’ll be available for training camp.
Regardless of how Friday went, the Jags already have their minds made up to take Lawrence. Now, it’s just a matter of dealing with the anxiety for fans as April’s draft can’t get here soon enough.
