Trevor Lawrence has had 25 NFL starts. Before that, he had 40 starts at Clemson, a big-time college program. That’s plenty of high-level football. A year and a half in the NFL isn’t enough to know exactly what a player is, but it’s a decent look at him. And what we’ve seen from Lawrence isn’t what we thought we’d be seeing when he was as hyped as any prospect over the last 10 years. Lawrence still has time to develop, and the Jacksonville Jaguars will give him as much time as reasonably… Source link
