CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence doesn’t have much on Carolina Panthers backup quarterback Will Grier -- at least in the hair department.
Grier’s dark brown locks flow from the back of his helmet just like Lawrence’s signature blond mane does in Jacksonville. He began growing it initially because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but now it’s to the point of becoming a thing.
“Rally hair,’’ Grier said jokingly.
But what Grier would rather have in common with Lawrence is a lock on a job. He won’t be Carolina’s starter, like the top pick of the 2021 draft is expected to be in Jacksonville, because that job belongs to Sam Darnold.
