Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence is apparently doing whatever he can to dissuade the New York Jets from choosing him with the first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
How else can you explain the quarterback throwing his first college career pick-six while playing against a team that calls New York State home … okay, Syracuse isn’t exactly the Big Apple.
Anyway, with the Tigers leading the Orange, 24-7, Saturday, Lawrence’s pass was picked and taken to the end zone by Syracuse’s Garrett Williams.

Lawrence is likely — assuredly — to declare for the 2021 NFL Draft, although he would have one more year of eligibility to play at Clemson.
Garrett Williams, in case you were wondering, is a redshirt freshman.
