Jacksonville Is Poised To Welcome Lawrence And His Long Hair
It’s been years (perhaps not since Andrew Luck went #1 overall to the Colts in the 2012 draft) since we’ve had a player entering the draft who seemed such a lock to be taken with the #1 pick. Trevor Lawrence is tall with long hair and a winning smile to go with his winning (38-2) record at Clemson as their All-American quarterback.
Has anyone ever had this much potential and been this well-suited for the #1 pick? The Jaguars are in need of a QB, and Lawrence is (as they say) a once-in-a-lifetime talent at the position.
Lawrence is a poised pocket passer with NFL offense skills already and he’ll only be 21 on draft day. The Jaguars are coming off a 1-15 record, and the franchise has only one playoff appearance in the last 13 years. Starting April 29, it will be a new era in Jacksonville, and the young QB with the long mane will be at the center of their revitalization.

After that, it’s not clear, but three quarterbacks–Trey Lance, Mac Jones, and Kyle Trask–are also likely to be drafted in the first round. There are many NFL teams thirsty for new blood at the position, including the Eagles, Broncos, Lions, Panthers, Saints, and possibly the Dolphins.
