CLEMSON, S.C. -- Trevor Lawrence was among the last players to exit the field after his first official practice at Clemson. Wearing a tank top and carrying his helmet, he sauntered past teammates in the weight room, flexing his bicep in a teasing gesture to star defensive lineman Clelin Ferrell and flashing a grin as a handful of media members snapped photos.
Before the practice, Tigers coach Dabo Swinney had raved about his quarterback depth chart, hyping Lawrence, the nation's top recruit according to several sites, as a more physically developed prodigy than even Deshaun Watson.
