Being Clemson’s first No. 1 pick ‘is special’ for Lawrence

With Trevor Lawrence’s selection as the top pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars Thursday night, Clemson became the 51st program ever to produce a No. 1 overall pick since inception of the draft in 1936.

“Being the first number one overall pick from Clemson, I mean there have been so many great players that have come through Clemson,” Lawrence said after his pick. “That is obviously special to me. I don’t take that lightly and it just shows we have kind of made history ever since I have been at Clemson. It has been awesome to be about of that with Coach [Dabo Swinney] and all of my teammates and just to continue to do that.
