Elliott amazed by Lawrence’s ability to extend plays

As Tony Elliott sits in the press box and looks down on the field as he calls plays, he just sits in amazement watching some of the plays he sees from freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Everyone knows about Lawrence’s arm strength and his accuracy down field. However, what gets lost when people talk about or break down the former 5-star from Cartersville, Ga., is his ability to make plays when the pocket breaks down and he is forced to improvise.

“Because of who we go against on defense, the thing that has impressed me is his ability to extend plays,” Elliott said following Thursday’s scrimmage at Death Valley.
