Analysts weigh in on whether Tebow will be detrimental to Lawrence

On ESPN’s “Get Up” show this week, Trevor Lawrence was brought up in a discussion about Tim Tebow joining the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Of course, Tebow signed with the Jaguars late last week as a tight end – a position he has never played before – agreeing to a one-year, non-guaranteed contract for the league’s veteran minimum ($920,000).

Get Up host Mike Greenberg said some people have suggested to him that Tebow’s presence in Jacksonville might be detrimental to the development of Lawrence, but ESPN football analyst Dan Orlovsky dismissed that notion about the former Clemson quarterback.

“Now, listen – they took Trevor Lawrence to be the next Peyton Manning,” Orlovsky said.
